Question
I want to export or print a plan(s) with tasks included. How do I do this?
By default, exporting any plan as a PDF will include all markups and attachments (that you have set to 'Show' in the 'Layers' menu, aka the eyeball button at the upper-right of the plan view) except task pins.
Check out this article for more info on how to export plan PDFs if you don't need to include tasks.
Note: There is a limit of exporting 1000 plan sheets at a time. If you try to export more than 1000 plan sheets, you'll receive the following email notification:
Answer
Exporting a plan will not include your task or task pins. In order to include your tasks in an export of your plans, you will need to generate a 'PDF Summary' or 'PDF Detailed' task report.
1. Navigate to the Task Tab and click on 'Generate reports':
2. Create and name your new report:
3. Select either 'PDF Summary' or 'PDF Detailed' as report type:
4. Select the pertinent task filters to isolate the appropriate tasks for your report. If your project uses Custom Task Statuses, (CTS) the new statuses will appear under your 'Task Filters':
A project that does not use CTS: | A project that uses CTS: |
![]() |
![]() |
Note: Admins can modify the Custom Task Status name on the settings page.
5. Include the plans you want to export:
6. Send or download the report by clicking 'Share':
Note: You can send the report via email to multiple recipients, and even individuals who don't have a Fieldwire account.
