How to add print button inside form view?

Question

Please help me to add print button inside form view instead of the one in header

Hi Sreedath,

Adding a print button is nothing but is just like you add a normal button. Add a button to your view for eg:

where *REPORT ACTION ID* is the id of your report that you have declared in the .xml file.

Thanks,

Answer

in your report there must be a report tag as follows.
< report  id= "profit_loss_report"    model= "Account.checklist"    string= "Check List"    name= "module_name.report_document"    file= " module_name.report_document "  report_type= "qweb-pdf" />
the report id is in the first line : "profit_loss_report"

Hello,
I followed your method and I replaced the module_name with my module's name "Medical prescription". When I print a prescription an error message is displayed " External ID not found in the system: Medical Prescription.report_document"
Could you help me please
