Any Incident Log within Activ can be converted to a PDF file, which allows it to be viewed as one document and printed and saved outside the Activ system. This feature may be useful when presenting internal reports, or to send to a third party perhaps.
The PDF file collates all the information recorded for the particular incident. The first part is a replica of the Incident Log’s Details tab. In subsequent pages, any witness statements, supporting photographs, associated Improvement Logs, and a list of any linked and attached files will all be presented. The properties of the PDF header and footer are managed via the Branding tab in the System Administration module.
To create a PDF, open the particular Incident Log’s Details tab by clicking on its Summary in the list on the Register tab of the Incident Log module. On the Details tab, click on PDF:
Depending on the web browser that you are using, you may get a pop-up window that previews the PDF file, from which you can save the PDF file outside Activ if you wish. Other browsers may automatically download the PDF to your default downloads location, from which you can open the PDF for viewing.
Note: For the PDF function to work properly, the computer you are using must have access to PDF software that is compatible with the web-browser you are using.
