Output

2 minute read

Meta objects of the Output type are used to show documents such as maps, datasheets or overviews in the tree structure. Unlike the Document Path used for meta objects of the Data and Caption types, Docusnap will only display the Document tab for Output-type objects. In addition, you can specify which wizard will be used to create the document. The selected wizard will be shown as a dashboard on the Document tab if the corresponding document has not been created yet.
