Empty cell placeholder function

Starting with version 25.2.0, it is possible to show placeholders in empty cells when exporting the Risksheet to PDF.

This can be used when regulatory compliance requires putting explicit "N/A" indication into empty cells.

To enable this, add this following line to the risksheetPdfExport.vm file.

exporter.emptyPlaceholder = "N/A"

If it is null (i.e. you do not set anything in risksheetPdfExport.vm), it does not put any placeholder there.

In the following example, the empty cells were filled with N/A in the export PDF.

Compare mode PDF export cover page

Starting with version 25.2.0, exporting a PDF in compare mode will have a customised cover page.

The cover page is highly customizable with the configuration of risksheetPdfExport.vm file.

Before you read, please check this article on revisions and how to compare them.

Setup

If you have just updated to version 25.2.0, please update the Demo template.

Go to Administration > Risksheet Setup > Click on "Update Demo Template"

By doing this step, the following code snippet will be added to risksheetPdfExport.vm file.

if(compareRevision){
    #printLabelVariable("Compare to revision" "compareRevision")
    #printLabelVariable("Current revision" "currentRevision")

    #newPage()
    #exportMainSheet("")
    throw new Error("STOP");
}

For projects created before updating the Demo Template, you will have to add this code snippet manually to the file.

Examples of PDF export cover page

Cover page for comparison between older and current revision with Only Changes applied

"Exporting only the changes between these revisions" will be noted on the cover page
Current revision will be shown as "current"

For regulatory compliance exports, the best practice is to compare two specific baselines or revisions instead.

Cover page for comparison between two specific revisions

"Current revision" is now numbered since we used two specific revisions to compare
"Show only changes" was not applied, therefore it's not noted on the cover page

Make sure Risksheet is updated to the latest version to maximize its benefits.
