Time zones
Dates are exported in the Codebeamer server time zone. The time zone of the user is not considered. (This will be fixed with next release, as development already addressed the issue.)
Known issues of Word Export - CB 9.4
This section discusses known issues of Word export- CB 9.4.
Table of Content in PDF Format
When Convert to PDF option is selected on the export dialog, the resulting export document is converted from docx to pdf format. The user will receive export document in pdf format. The table of content cannot be updated in pdf format because this feature is only available in Word. The following message will remain in the export document:
From Codebeamer 9.5, an exported document will not contain table of contents if the Convert to PDF option is selected.
Known issues in Word Export - CB 9.3
This section discusses known issues of Word export- CB 9.3.
Document Author
The author of the document is not set automatically. An exported document will have the same "Author" as the template document. Also the "Last Modified By" property is not set automatically.
This issue has been fixed in Codebeamer version 9.4 with automatically filling these two properties with generator Codebeamer user.
 | Workaround for Codebeamer version 9.3: Set Authorof document manually after export finished. You can find it in MS Word at > > . Then be sure to save the document. The Last Modified By property will be set by Word upon save by filling the logged in system user. |
Localized Headings
When a standard template is modified and saved in a non-English version of Word, then headings are replaced with the localized version.
Word export is incompatible with these localized headings as the IDs change among these versions.
In Codebeamer version 9.4, this issue has been fixed using heading names instead of heading IDs.
For a workaround for Codebeamer version 9.3, find someone who has the English version of Word, open the modified template for editing, then click Save as.
