So, you have mastered the D365FO Print Management, but you find it annoying that the settings are accessible one by one, instead in a convenient tabular view?

It is a common configuration to have one Default and multiple Conditional setting, and perhaps also some Copy settings. All together it can quickly grow to a dozen settings for one Print management document type, like a Sales invoice or Sales packing slip. And when you need to review or modify them, you need multiple clicks per setting just to open, review, and close it, and then rinse and repeat.

In a situation like that, you wish there was a tabular view of all Print management settings, right? Watch this video to learn how to simplify the maintenance of the D365FO Print Management settings. I will use the Docentric Print management utilities to:

• see a tabular view of Print management settings,
• see unpacked all Print destinations settings, and
• filter the results by various criteria.

Additionally, you will see how with the Docentric Full edition you can even:

• bulk update multiple Print management settings.

Print Management Utilities Form

Watch this video to learn how to navigate through the tabular view presented in the Print management utilities form, identify the Print management settings you are looking for, and show only fields of interest.

Link to D365FO Print Management Setup Form

In the above video, you’ve already seen how the Print management > Open for document menu item opens the standard D365FO Print management setup form, conveniently filtered only for the document type from the caller record. Not only that but you will also be positioned in the exact print management setting that matches the caller record.

Check the next video to see how the Docentric Print management utilities form is linked to the standard Print management setup form.

Filter and Search the D365FO Print Management Settings

Usually, you want to focus on one document type and see all its related configurations. You can filter and sort by every field in the Print management tabular view, you can use quick filters, and search for any value in the unpacked Print destination forms. Watch the next video to see this in action.

Update / Bulk Update the Print Management Settings

There are multiple ways to modify the data in this form:

1. directly in the grid,
2. editing in the Print destination form, and
3. copy-paste from one setting to multiple target settings.

Modifications done here won’t be saved directly to the database, thus allowing you to review them and in the next step submit them to the database or reload from the database.

Watch the next video to see these approaches in action.
