A customer has noticed that printing app steps on the iPad fails when checkboxes are included. The error message is:

After speaking with TULIP Support, it was confirmed that this feature is currently not supported but is under consideration for future development.

:light_bulb: Suggested improvement:

Please extend the print function on mobile devices (especially iPads) so that app steps with checkboxes can also be printed.

This is important, for example, for generating protocols that need to be documented and archived.

Good Point.

Have you considered a workaround for now?

I have two ideas:

A)
Try making a screenshot by trigger and display it on a “Print-Only-Step” (no need to navigate there).
Then print this step by trigger logic.

B)
Duplicate the step (one for printing only) and replace the Checkboxes with the variables (shown as text) or a square Shape + a âś“-Character
Print this step. (This is a bit more complex logic, to translate the booleans into âś“)

Hi Thorsten,
My approach was also to display the variable as text.

If that’s not enough, the option with the rectangles and the ✓ symbol could be an alternative.

Thanks for the further input.

Option A has not been successful in my tests so far.
Unfortunately, the Trigger Capture App screenshot is not available for on step triggers, timers triggers, machines & devices triggers or on step exit triggers.
Therefore, I need a button to trigger the screenshot. However, this button is then visible on the screenshot. Even if I make it invisible, the loading symbol is still visible on the screenshot.

Maybe you have a solution or alternative for this.

Best regards to Bielefeld,
Paul

You are right. Unfortunately I have no good solution yet.
