Creating Custom Print Layouts for Booklet Printing
The SMS Booklet Printing license allow users to generate booklets that can be printed and/or saved. Booklet Printing will allow for specific attributes and other data to be shown as the user chooses. This guide shows how to include specific attributes in the booklet printing process.
Creating a Custom Print Layout specific to an attribute:
  1. Create New Map of a Layer you would like to print
  2. Right-click and select Print
  3. Choose Print Custom Layout
    1. If a print layout already exists that will work for the users needs, select the layout and choose Print Custom Layout at the bottom and continue to step 4
    2. If no layout is available to use, select New Print Layout and follow this video (Save the layout to the default location to ensure it will migrate successfully, failure to do this will result in the layout not working after an update):
      1.  
  4. Right-click on the map and select Edit Properties
  5. Select Add under the layer
  6. Under Dataset Based Layer select Enable                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Screenshot (206).png
  7. When the Add Related Data Layer dialog opens, nothing should need to be changed. Select OK                                                                                                       Screenshot (207).png
  8. In the drop-down for the attribute, select the attribute you wish to be displayed.  Ex. Soil pH, Soil OM, etc. 
  9. In the map type drop-down, select which map type you want.  Ex. Base, Swath, Grid, or Contour
  10. Label the layer name
    1. It is recommended to leave on the attribute so it is easier to remember when printing later
  11. Select OK
  12. Select OK again in the next window
  13. In the layer drop-down, change it to the added layer with the custom name given above
  14. Choose File - Save As, and save the layout
    1. It is recommended to save the layout using the attribute name
  15. Repeat for any additional attributes, as needed
Adding new print layouts to a booklet:
  1. Go to Analysis - Booklet Printing
    1. Select to edit an existing booklet or create a new one following this video:
      1.  
  2. Navigate to the Booklet Item Selection page
  3. Select the appropriate management item type. Ex. Grower, Farm, or Field                                                                                                                                       Screenshot (208).png                
  4. Select Map Layout and Add
