Generate document

To create a document, just click and objectiF RM automatically fills the bookmarks with your project data at a defined location.

Generate document via command

Select a document that you want to generate and click Generate Contents in the context menu command. If you want to open the document, select the command Show as PDF or Show in Word after generation. The document is then displayed in the appropriate format. As an alternative to the Show in Word command, you can also select the Generate Content and Open command. After generation, the document opens automatically in MS Word.
