06. December: Santa is Using Polarion Collections

Santa and his team of elves are extremely busy throughout the entire year getting ready for the upcoming Christmas season. All of Santa’s activities require extensive documentation: Toy Development, Childrens’ Wish Lists, Naughty and Nice Lists, Reindeer Vaccinations, Sleigh Maintenance – you name it. Of course, Santa and his team are avid users of Polarion in order to tackle all of this. One of Santa’s favorite Polarion tools is using Collections to keep all of his documentation well organized. However, he realized he needs to be able to export entire Polarion Collections with their content as PDF files, so that he can share them with those not using Polarion, such as the North Pole Toy Inspectors, the Reindeer Veterinarians and so on.  

We listened to Santa’s needs and have developed a quick and easy possibility for him step up his organizational game – export entire Polarion Collections as a single PDF file, which can be configured with the standard PDF settings prior to export. In the holiday spirit, we are sharing this with everyone, so you too can enjoy this neat new feature.  

Just install the Java Plugin on your server and import the LiveReport Page into the desired Polarion project. There you can select the standard PDF settings such as paper size, orientation and other typical settings you may need, choose the Collections you want to export, click on Export and voila, a ZIP file containing your documents is downloaded and ready for use.  

Special Thanks to the Team from Avasis!
