A printed permit and/or printed job card are often given to an applicant when the permit is paid for and officially issued. The printouts for the permit and job card show similar information, but the job card is formatted with larger text so that it can be posted in a window or on a notice board at a job site.
Print Permit
To print a permit, begin from the permit window. Click Gear > Print Permit.
Several options are available when printing a permit.
In the Print Options dialog box, choose the appropriate Permit Message to apply to the permit. Click the Down Arrow button and choose the appropriate message from the drop down list.
The messages can be edited or new ones created as described in Permit Messages.
Next, using the drop down list, choose the official that will issue the permit. If you need to add or change Department Officials in the drop down list, Employees, Inspectors, and Permit Officials describes how.
To apply the official's digital signature, use the Include Signature? checkbox. Digital Signatures describes how to set up these signatures.
Several optional check boxes are pre-checked by default, as shown in the screenshot below. Update any of the checkboxes as needed, and click Done.
A preview of the printout generates. The buttons at the top perform the following functions:
Pencil - Change printing options

The job card generates and is displayed in a Print Permit window. To change the document's zoom level, click the Magnifying Glass button. To change permit printing options, click the Pencil button.
