Doc Gen Replacing filename error
Leaving this here for you. Ran into a problem where when I printed the Doc, it showed this crazy error. {"message":"Bad Request","description":"This document template has field markers that require a Record ID."} What does that mean? If you look at the two URL's of the Print button below, the second is cut off. var text fileName = "template"; https://api.quickbase.com/v1/docTemplates/1/generate?&tableId=bkp8cwnzs&realm=hardermech.quickbase.com&format=pdf&pageSize=Letter&filename=template&margin=0.25%200.25%200.25%200.25&unit=in&orientation=portrait&recordId=3364 var text fileName = [Override Template Name]; https://api.quickbase.com/v1/docTemplates/1/generate?&tableId=bkp8cwnzs&realm=hardermech.quickbase.com&format=pdf&pageSize=Letter&filename=512604-19254.Oregon.Summit this one is missing all this stuff at the end: "&margin=0.25%200.25%200.25%200.25&unit=in&orientation=portrait&recordId=3364" Here is how I fixed it. I moved the filename variable to the end of the URL. var text url = "https://api.quickbase.com/v1/docTemplates/1/generate?&tableId=" & $tableId & "&realm=" & $qbRealm &"&format=" & $format &"&pageSize=Letter&margin=" & $margin &"&unit=in&orientation=portrait&recordId=" & ToText([Record ID#])&"&filename=" & $fileName; Not sure if this is known or not but leaving it here for future me.
Document Generation - Filename
I started playing with the Document Generation in Quickbase this week which is amazing! I am curious to know if there is a way to set the filename of a Document that is generated in a custom email notification from a Quickbase application? I know that when you use the Generate Document code to create the document for a record in the application, it does allow you to set the title/name of the document specifically. However, using the same option as a part of the custom email notification sends the notification with the PDF attached and named Document 1, rather than any name you specify in the code that is attached the Formula URL field.
Add barcodes to PDF templates
We have an app for tracking form internal processes. There is a paper printout that will travel with a part throughout the plant. I want to add a barcode to that printout so when someone needs to update the record, they can just scan the barcode (we already have USB barcode scanners at all the computers). Is there a way to take the value of a field and create a barcode?
