The Dependency View iiPDF Template Editor is used to define the Object Types and column data to be exported when the Dependency View iiPDF Configuration is executed. The selected Dependency View iiPDF Template defines properties such as the Page Setup and Data Export content to be included in the final iiPDF output. A single Dependency View iiPDF Template must be selected when running the Dependency View iiPDF.
The following screenshot images and text explain the main features of the Dependency View iiPDF Template Editor dialog.

In addition, the list has the standard convenient Quick Search box on the top for quick filtering.
