Current behavior of print preview service

...

Special case: There are some questions where blank space is provided, where the student is expected to draw, a diagram or write in free space.

Header and Footer: Currently there is no header and footer shown, in Haryana
Header is set as - Subject/Grade
Footer is set as - Page number

Proposed approach

We can have a question-level variable called 'Number of answering lines'.

...

1. To be answered within the question paper booklet

   1. A default value for ‘Number of answering lines’ for each question type can be set based on grade

   2. The value can be editable.
      Question- Who will have access to edit this value?
      Question creator (contributor) OR Question paper creator (souring reviewer).
      Ideally, since the adjustments in the preview would be done by the question paper creator, it would be helpful if they have this as well.

2. To be answered separately

   1. The default value for all the questions is set as 0
      Question- Should this be editable as well, for the admin to provide lines for any question if needed?

Line visibility:

There are questions where blank space is required for students to draw. In such cases, we can still have the number of lines variable defined (to define the height of space needed) and in addition, we can have another variable Line visibility.

The default value for Line visibility can be set as true, and only manually for each question can be changed to false, creating a blank space for the answering.

Question - (same as above)Who will have access to edit this value?
Question creator (contributor) OR Question paper creator (souring reviewer).
Ideally, since the adjustments in the preview would be done by the question paper creator, it would be helpful if they have this as well.

...

1. These default values should be set at the channel level, what is the possible value in it?

2. If tomorrow we decide to provide the option to configure the look of the start of the question paper as well, section 1 in the current scenario, how can we do it?
   One approach could be to make an exhaustive list of all the variables (Student name, student sign, teacher name, teacher sign, roll number, date, examination batch etc) that can come at the start of the question paper and then as users to select what all do they want.

3. Not considered now, the position of logo and provision to allow edits to that position, current thinking is to have a fixed place and fixed dimension for it. (Right - SCERT logo)

Header and Footer: This can be fixed to the below values and can be directly managed in the print service.
Header is set as - Subject/Grade
Footer is set as - Page number

Question- Should this be made configurable? Where admin defines the value of the header and footer while defining the question paper. What is the merit in making it configurable now?
