Documents & printers

Configure job documents, reusable templates and printed copies.

Enable documents

Open the job's document settings, enable the feature and review the rank permissions and tablet app access. Employees use a single list of that job's documents.

Generic jobs keep their documents within the job. Cross-job document sharing is not included. Gangs do not support printers.

Create and use templates

Authorised employees can manage templates through the tablet. Create a template for a repeated form, then use it when creating a document instead of rebuilding the same layout each time.

Review who can create, read and edit documents, including any classification restrictions. A visible tablet app does not automatically grant permission to every document.

Set up a printer

  1. Enable printing for the job.
  2. Configure a printer and place it at the workplace.
  3. Add the required document and printer items to your inventory using the Jobs Base item definitions.
  4. Check access with a character who has the required job permissions.

Printed documents require an inventory that preserves individual item metadata. Keep the item names aligned with your configured inventory integration.

Open a document in the tablet, choose its available print action and collect the copy from the configured printer.

A collected copy keeps the content it had when printed. Editing the digital document later does not update copies already in a player's inventory.

If printing or collection fails, check the required items, inventory capacity, printer position and document permissions. Keep the first error from that attempt when contacting support; see Troubleshooting.
