At the command prompt or in a Terminal window, change the directory to your workspace.
Build the workspace. Run: sf modeler workspace build.
Start the server. Run: sf modeler workspace server start.
Open the URL http://localhost:3000/framework/index.html?desktop in a Google Chrome browser in incognito mode to view the Consumer Goods Cloud offline mobile app in a simulator app UI when generating the print preview for the first time. The system performs the initial data synchronization before rendering the simulated UI.
For subsequent tests, use the URL http://localhost:3000/framework/index.html?desktop&forceOffline in Google Chrome in incognito mode if the customizations in a PrintLayout contract requires you to generate the print preview multiple times until you get the expected output.
In the simulated app, go to Order | Order Overview, and open an order.
To open the menu, click , and then click .
Click Preview.
The PDF preview of the Order Confirmation report appears.
