Print variable details

The same details used to build the Variable Prompt data-entry windows can also be used to generate reports to aid authors. I-Deal Docs includes functions to generate:

  • an Answer Sheet – generates a data-dump report in a new Word document. By default, the report is formatted as a two-column table: the left column shows the variable names and descriptions, the right column shows the answer entered by the operator for each variable. This report can be filed with the matter or returned to the work author for verification. An example report might look like:

  • a Dictation Sheet – generates a new Word document with the same two-column table layout as above, except that the right column is blank. This allows each variable to be handwritten or for the report to be used as a digital dictation aid.
