You can also invoke a custom function to open the record in a new page and subsequently print it. To do so, Please follow the steps mentioned
below:

  • Click on “Edit this application” and click on “Script” tab.
  • Click on “Functions” displayed in the top left corner. [Below the various tabs.]
  • You can create a function, viz Print_Rec, with an argument. In this case the argument can be an interger.
  • Drag and drop the openUrl task into the deluge editor.
  • Click on “edit” of the openUrl task.
  • Specify the following url string:
“https://creatorexport.zoho.com/”+zoho.adminuser+”/”+zoho.appname+”/print/view_Link_Name/ID=”+input.ID

where view_Link_Name is the view from which the records are to be printed and input.ID is the incoming ID argument.

To export it to PDF use,

“https://creatorexport.zoho.com/”+zoho.adminuser+”/”+zoho.appname+”/pdf/view_Link_Name/ID=”+input.ID

  • Select the openUrl in as “New Window”.
  • Click Done to add the task and click “Save Script” to save the function.
  • Mouse over the “Views” tab and navigate to the view in which this function is to be included.
  • From the left pane, from under “Display”, click on “Column Properties”.
  • Select the “ID” field to be displayed in the view.
  • Form under “Actions” in the left pane, click on “Custom Actions”.
  • Specify
    the function name to be displayed in the view, select the “Print_Rec”
    function that we just created and pass the “ID” as the argument.
  • Click “Done” to save.

When
you access the view now, you can see the function being displayed next
to each record. Clicking on the function will execute the function.
