Grid is filtered. How do i set PDF Header to filtered value?

[beckhamrryyaann]

I have a real basic app that basically shows a grid of fabric lists. The user has a filter where they can select what fabric lists details they want to see.

When they download to PDF, how do I set the value of PDF header? I don't have a behavior I can hook into since the filtering is done at the grid level.

thanks!

When you say "filter" are you referring to the built in search of a grid? Or is it an actual filter field?

it is using an actual filter field

OK, the following steps should give you what you want:

• Create an app variable to store the value of the pdf header
• Link this newly created app variable to the "pdfHeader" property of your grid
• Go into edit mode for the grid in question
  • Click the Filters section
  • Expand the Settings on the right hand side
  • Enter a filter program
    • This is based off of the EXNABFLT template
• Use SetAppVar('MY_APP_VAR':'MY_PDF_HEADER_VALUE') within your newly created filter program.

Perfect! This worked.
