Application Context

This command is recommended if you want to convert a Web application to Microsoft Excel format or to a printable format. More information: Creating Print Versions of BEx Applications .

For printing or exporting purposes, you can use a Web template other than the current one. Any Web items and/or data providers with the same name in both the original Web template and in the new print Web template are transferred to the new print Web template. If there are further (new) Web items or data providers in the new print Web template, the system generates them again for the print Web template.

Tip

If you print from Web Analyzer, a special print Web template is used in which additional text elements are derived and printed. This web template has been specifically optimized for Web Analyzer.
