You can input any sample occurrence ID to test if the tags or labels will return the correct information on your template. |
3. The Print Preview tool will display the Printout version of the template you designed. This step provides you with a document showing how the final output will look like when printed.

If no data is returned for your sample occurrence, it means that your template is not properly connected to a data source or connection. |
