Print Action Records

Definition

Print Action Records are modular, targeted text snippets stored procedurally within the system that are conditionally injected into specific print layouts when predefined master data criteria matching the customer are met.

Business Purpose and Architecture

Global invoice form templates shouldn’t be altered just to tell 500 customers about a local water main flush. Architecturally, Print Action Records establish a decoupled text-injection layer. A user runs a list-report to identify the target contract scope and programmatically attaches the Print Action Record object directly to them. During the Print Workbench run, the system intercepts the execution, detects the valid active record, and appends the customized string natively onto the invoice structure.
