Description: Enhance the text report export functionality to allow users to export all attachments linked to a text report as a ZIP file. When a user prints or exports a text report to PDF, the system should automatically package all associated attachments into a single ZIP folder. This ZIP folder should be saved in the same directory as the exported PDF, providing a convenient way to access all related files in one place.
Use Case/Example:
A user needs to share a text report with stakeholders. Alongside the PDF export, they want to include all supporting documentation, such as screenshots, logs, and data files, without manually collecting each file. With this feature, exporting the text report will also generate a ZIP containing all attachments, streamlining the sharing process and ensuring nothing is missed.
Audit or compliance reviews require all evidence and documentation linked to a text report. Exporting both the PDF and attachments together ensures comprehensive record-keeping and simplifies audit preparation.
Benefits:
Saves time by automating the collection of attachments
Reduces risk of missing documentation
Improves collaboration and transparency with stakeholders
Enhances compliance and audit readiness
This would especially be helpful for BOE reports. I can attach PDF quotes to materials, so it would be helpful if the supporting quotes for that material were automatically included with the exported BOE report by way of a zip file along with the filename in the BOE report for reference.
