Breeders need to document details and identify products in conducting their experiments using labels, tags, and reports. The Printout tool allows EBS administrators, specifically data managers, to create and design templates for these purposes, as well as connect these templates to EBS domains and tools. This tool is one of the tools featured in the Core System domain.

The Core System dashboard will open. Select Printout from either the dashboard or the left navigation menu.

Filter and sort templates

The Printout page has TEMPLATES, CONNECTIONS, and SYSTEM TEMPLATES tabs which data browsers support the search-as-you-type and sort functionalities for a better user experience. The search bar is just below the column names, while the sort feature can be accessed by clicking the Vertical ellipsis button beside the column names.

New audit columns (Created By, Created On, Updated By, Updated On) were added to the TEMPLATES and CONNECTIONS data browser.
