Ver 4.0

Totals logic

1] Totals for multipage:

Q: In case table is split between multiple pages, do we need to print totals line on each page or only on last page?

A: Only on last page.

Lines manipulation

Some pdf commodity table sections have "line manipulation features":

Line Up

  • Line could be selected and then moved up the list until top is reached
  • At first no line is selected
  • Once some line is selected system should hold selection until page is refreshed or another line is selected (not working now)

Line Down

  • 1 Line could be selected and then moved down the list until bottom is reached
  • 2 Some documents have no bottom (if they could be multipage, example: DO.Ocean), some have (DO.Air)
  • 3 At first no line is selected
  • 4 Once some line is selected system should hold selection until page is refreshed or another line is selected

Insert Line

  • 1 user selects line, clicks "Insert"
  • 2 system must insert line above selected
  • 3 system must keep selected line selected even after insert - this is more convenient if user wants to insert several lines at a time
  • 4 ??? todo: what is the Insert logic for fixed lines document (like HAWB)? Remove Insert?

Delete line

  • 1 User can select line and click "Delete". System would delete selected line and move all lines below one line up.
  • 2 As usual keep selected line selected

Precision

  • must be exactly 2 digits after dot (on all docs) --Alex 20:41, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Unit conversion

  • most tables have unit conversion feature that must convert on the fly (example: kg to lb)


Look and Feel

  • 1] unit of measurement that appears to the right of the number (example: 20CBM) must be printed only on the "Total:" line
  • 2] comtable needs vertical lines but not horizontal lines
  • 3] comtable needs lines around it - it must be "in the box"
  • 4] TOC must always extend to the bottom of the page regardless of how many lines are there
  • 5] all totals in TOC (Table Of Charges) must be bold

Version 5.0 ("Textarea-based")

Main functions and what is common

  • Pull function - pull info into template from DB (two separate logics: one for air docs and one for ocean docs; also HAWB and MAWB are special)
  • Manipulate function - pull data on template (common for all pdfs)
  • Create pdf function - create pdf based on template (common for all pdfs)

Pull function for AIR

Manipulate function

Line manipulation : Up, Down, Insert, Delete, Clear

  • Clear is added functionality in this version. See other specs in previous version.

Clear clears all contents in the selected line(s)
