Print Preview: Can we include %ITEM_TITLE% in header
 
1 Attachment(s)
I do most of my presentations in UR. I do not use slide-based apps because it does not show relationships or allow me to zoom in/out based on the audience. UR allows me to do both using tree hierarchy.

I then share content by printing the tree and item details into a pdf. It works well. However, UR allows me to use a small set of variables (for dates mostly) in the header/footer or custom string.

I really would like to use %ITEM_TITLE% because this is basically like a header. I want the header to be visible/bolded. I do not care to have date bolded on top of each page.

Is there a way to do this? If not, would it be possible to add it? To overcome the possibility of having long item titles, have it truncated based on max length.

When I print item details, the title is included in the header. Can you provide more details on what/how you are printing?

I do not know why UR shows OS version as Windows 10 home. It is actually Windows 11.

If I select a single info item, print preview shows item title in header with bolded text just fine.

When I print a presentation, I have to select multiple info items, in this case, UR defaults to multiple items string which is unhelpful.

You can see it in this screen recording: https://1drv.ms/f/s!At88Mf-PQl_LgtUA...oJLfw?e=McRuX3

The item title is included, just not in the header (and I don't think the component used to render that supports it being dynamic per page).

Perhaps it could be bolded and spacing added to make it stand out more.

You can also check Tools | Options | Editor | Show combined text for multiple selection and Include item titles, and after multi-selecting, with focus in the detail pane, print preview will show each item and its title.

It looks like the item title will be placed in the header if one info item is selected in tree. For multiple selections, it won't work.

Wouldn't inserting a variable like %ITEM_TITLE% in the print preview settings solve the problem? Is there a programmatic restriction preventing it?

There is a a workaround, maybe. I noticed that if I use separator text, it gets prepended to the item title and brings more attention to it. No text formatting though.

Thanks

The way it works is that the entire chunk of text content for all selected items is fed to the preview component, and there isn't a way to customize the title per item.

You can also add newlines to the separator for more spacing and increase the height of the header, and/or use the options I mentioned 2 posts up to have the item title be highlighted/underlined.

I like that. This should do the job.

Thanks
