Tags to reflect while exporting the diagrams (any format of export)

Tags to reflect while exporting the diagrams (any format of export)

Currently while exporting the diagrams in word / excel the tag details are being captured in the same
However, Tags are not getting populated while exporting as PDF / PPT. Hence it is essential to get the data available when extracting the diagram in all possible types.

    We plan to enable the customization of pdf footers (like you can do today with the Word export) but don't have a date planned for that yet. We will add .ppt to the list as well. This will enable you to ensure that the internal/confidential classification is supported. After that we will consider further customization of footers (possibly using tags), but we probably won't get to that for some time.

    Hi team,

    The Key requirement we have is the record classification (Internal / confidential) which is mandatory for all documents as per Records Management Policy , with out which it may be a failure / observation. Also since Process / procedure Documents are considered as High Risk Records , we are updating few more tags like level, business area , project name which are also mandatory in all kind of exports as the same being circulated to the wider business area and we can't have any exception in leaving these details in any kind of export. Hence it would be great if we have the tag option available in all kind of exports we generate from BWL.
    Hope this answers your query,
    Kindly get in touch if you need any further information.

    Thanks
    Srividhya R

    Could you perhaps provide some examples of what tags you would like to include in a pdf export so we can better understand the requirement?

    During our monthly call, Margaret mentioned that “taking the current ability to customise the footer.. So that we can choose to include tags to all export “

    How ever, this option (customise footer) is available only for word export. We want the footer to be available for all type of exports. As this info is mandatory for all documents, it is essential to capture the same in all kind of exports.
