Docket Sheet Generator

Fully customizable PDF docket sheets that you design yourself

Custom Docket Sheet Templates

Every organization starts with a read-only Default template. From there you can clone it, tweak the layout, or build one from scratch. Each template controls:

Page orientation — Portrait (8.5 × 11) or Landscape (11 × 8.5)
Rows per page — How many cases fit on a single page (1–10)
Font family — Choose from several standard fonts
Header area — Per-page header with county, date, time, and attorney name
Row layout — The fields, labels, and dividers that repeat for each case

Visual WYSIWYG Editor

The template editor gives you a live preview of your layout as you build it. No guessing, no trial-and-error PDF exports.

Header Preview — Design what appears at the top of every page. Add data fields that auto-fill from your filters (county, date, time, attorney name) or static text labels like your firm name.

Row Preview — Design a single row that repeats for each court task. Place fields anywhere on the grid by dragging, or enter exact coordinates in the properties bar.

Properties Bar — Select any element to edit its position (X/Y in inches), width, font size, bold, text alignment (left/center/right), and visibility.

Available Fields

The editor offers three types of elements you can place on the template:

Type	Description	Examples
Built-in Fields	Case data pulled automatically	`docket_number` , `case_id` , `plaintiff` , `tenants` , `property_address` , `tenant_total_owed` , `court_date` , `court_time` , `county` , `attorney_name` , `judgement` , `delinquency_length`
Custom Fields	Fields from your organization's intake form	Any custom field you've configured
Static Labels	Free text that prints the same on every row	"Docket #", "Owed:", "Notes:"
Dividers	Horizontal lines for visual separation	Configurable thickness and width

Generating a Docket Sheet

From the Daily Docket page, open the tools menu (⋯) and select Generate Docket Sheet, then pick your template. The PDF is generated from the currently filtered court tasks — so use the county, time, and attorney filters to produce separate sheets per courtroom or session.

The generated PDF includes:

A header on each page with your configured header fields
One row per court task with your field layout
Automatic pagination based on your rows-per-page setting
Page numbers in the bottom-right corner

Managing Templates

Open the tools menu (⋯) on the Daily Docket page and click Manage Docket Templates.

Action	Description
Create	Start a new template from a blank canvas
Clone	Copy any template (including the default) as a starting point
Edit	Open the visual editor for your custom templates
Delete	Remove a custom template (the default cannot be deleted)
View	Inspect the default template layout (read-only)

Template names must be unique within your organization.

Building a Template — Step by Step

Open the editor — Click "Create Template" or clone an existing one
Set page options — Choose a name, rows per page, orientation, and font
Design the header — Add data fields (county, date, time, attorney) or static text. Position them by dragging or entering coordinates.
Design the row — Click "Add Field" or use the Available Fields panel on the right. Place built-in fields, custom fields, static labels, and dividers.
Adjust properties — Click any element to fine-tune position, width, font size, bold, and alignment in the properties bar
Save — Click SAVE. Your template is immediately available in the Generate Docket Sheet menu.

Tips

Filter before generating — The PDF only includes cases matching your current Daily Docket filters. Filter by county and time to produce per-courtroom sheets.
Clone, don't start from scratch — The default template has a sensible layout. Clone it and rearrange rather than building from zero.
Use static labels for context — Add labels like "Docket #" or "Owed:" next to data fields so the printed sheet reads clearly without column headers.
Fewer rows = more space — If you have many fields per case, use 3–5 rows per page. For a compact list, 8–10 rows works well.
Landscape for wide layouts — If you need many fields side by side, switch to landscape for the extra horizontal space.
Resize with the handle — Drag the right edge of any field to resize it, or type an exact width in the properties bar.

It pulls every upcoming court appearance into a single view, lets you filter and sort by date, county, time, or assigned attorney, and gives you tools to update cases individually or in bulk — all without leaving the page. When you're ready to print, the new Docket Sheet Generator produces a polished PDF from a fully customizable template that you design yourself.
