Understanding Print Templates and Relationships

You set up print templates to define the number of rows and the types of information that print in the detail section of legal documents. You use the Print Template Def. Legal Doc. program (P7430021) to set up print templates.

When you set up print templates, you must enter values in different fields on the Print Templates Definition for Legal Documents Revision form. For example:

Field

Value

Detail Section Total Number of Rows

3

Detail Section Total Number of Rows on First Page

3

Detail Section Total Number of Rows on Middle Pages

20

Detail Section Total Number of Rows on Last Page

20

When you set up line type definitions for IMD and ID1 on the Print Line Types Definition for Legal Document form, the value for the number of rows must be 5.

After you set up the templates, you assign legal companies and legal document types to the templates using the Print Template Def. Relationship program (P7430023). This ensures that the system uses the correct template for each legal document type.

The system stores information about print templates in these tables:

  • Print Template Definition of Legal Documents (F7400021)

  • Print Line Types Definition for Legal Documents (F7400022)

  • Legal Document Types / Print Templates Relationship (F74200023)
