The goal of Dynamic Print is to allow users to print entire process maps while minimizing manual input or readjustment. It automatically re-positions maps to fit within 1 or many pages depending on the size of the process and the user settings. Like Regular Print, users can re-position flow objects and transitions within each page and the layout will be automatically re-adjusted. However, unlike Regular Print, Dynamic Print will automatically add pages (clipping rectangles) to fit the process and these ‘clipping rectangles’ are not movable. See below for instructions on Dynamic Print
1. Select the Print button on the upper left corner of the page.
2. A print settings panel will be displayed. Select Dynamic Print as the Print Mode. See the Table below for print settings options.
