Add timestamp to printed output

In ClickHelp, you can add automatically updated text/data to your printed output. The most common example of such data is a timestamp. As an example, let's see how to add an automatically updated timestamp to the footer of each page:

  1. Download your DOCX template file for the printed output located in the Storage/Templates/Export/Printed folder.
  2. Open the file using Microsoft Word.
  3. Switch to the Insert tab of the ribbon bar, go FooterEdit Footer or double-click on the footer itself.
  4. On the Design tab, click Date & Time.
  5. Choose one of the available time formats and click OK.
  6. Save the file and upload it back to ClickHelp storage, replacing the old one.
  7. Export your publication to the printed output, as you usually do, using the modified DOCX template file.

As a result, you will have a timestamp in the footer of each page, which will automatically use the date when the system generates an output file.
