Specify the PDF output type for Approvals

As a system administrator, you can specify the name for the preferred, named PDF output type for use in Approvals.

About this task

The Name of the output field corresponds to the name for a PDF output type that is available within IXIA CCMS Desktop in the Generate Output > Output Format dropdown menu.

Important: The output format that you choose cannot include any user parameters that require user input on the Generate Output page. If there are such user parameters, the Approval output fails. If you want to use such an output type, you should create a second output type that calls a new target which provides hard-coded values for the parameters.

Procedure

  1. From the Administration menu, click Configuration > Approval.
  2. In the Name of the output field, enter the name of the PDF output type.
    For example: Dita2Pdf.
    Note: Enter the name for the PDF output type exactly as shown in the dropdown menu from Generate Output > Output Format dropdown menu within CCMS Desktop.
