Document Generation ensures compliance by generating documents in a format that is customizable to your various enterprise needs.
In Blueprint, you can easily generate documents based on customizable templates. This allows you to have an offline record of documents for different audiences, in different formats that can be referenced across any artifact in your workspace, enabling reuse and traceability.
Generating a document in Blueprint creates a Document artifact with the generated document as an attachment in that artifact. Single or multiple artifacts can be included in the document you want to generate.
Only users with editing permissions can generate documents.
