Generate sign-in sheet
generate_sign_in_sheetRead-onlyIdempotent
Use this when the user wants a sign in sheet template, a visitor log template, a contact or email sign-up sheet, or a weekly sign-in and out timesheet to print for a meeting, event, class, open house or front desk. Returns a print-ready PDF where the rows fill each page to the bottom margin and the column headings repeat on each page, plus a CSV template. Custom columns, title, date, organization, row count, Letter/A4/Legal, landscape, striping. Does not collect sign-ins online, track hours or calculate pay. For volunteer or potluck sign-ups use generate_sign_up_sheet; for class rosters with dates use generate_attendance_sheet.

}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| date | No | Date printed in the header, in any common form, e.g. "2026-11-14", "Nov 14 2026" or "11/14/2026" (read as US month/day). Leave out to print a blank Date line. | |
| days | No | Timesheet only: which days, e.g. "Mon-Fri" (default), "Mon, Wed, Fri" or "every day". | |
| rows | No | Number of writing rows, e.g. 25 or "40 rows". Leave out to fill one page exactly. More rows than fit continue on more pages, each page full; "20 per page" sets rows per page. | |
| pages | No | Number of identical blank pages when no list is given, 1 to 50, e.g. 3. Default 1. | |
| title | No | Heading printed at the top, e.g. "Board Meeting Sign-In" or "Fall Open House". Default depends on the sheet type. | |
| columns | No | Column headings to use instead of the defaults, as a list or comma separated text, e.g. ["Name", "Email", "Phone", "Signature"]. Any names work; widths follow the content (Email wide, Time In narrow, a "?" column is a tick box). | |
| teacher | No | Host or supervisor name printed in the header, e.g. "Dana Ruiz". | |
| location | No | Location printed in the header, e.g. "Room 204" or "Community Hall". Leave out for a blank line. | |
| numbered | No | Print a # column with row numbers, e.g. true. Default true for sign-in, contact and attendance sheets. | |
| org_name | No | Organization, school or business name printed above the title, e.g. "Maple Street PTA". | |
| striping | No | Light gray shading on alternate rows (or alternate groups), e.g. false for plain rows. Default true. | |
| subtitle | No | Optional second line under the title, e.g. "Quarterly review, 6 pm". | |
| page_size | No | Paper size: "Letter" (default, 8.5x11), "A4" or "Legal". "A4 landscape" also sets the orientation. | |
| sheet_type | No | Which sheet, e.g. "sign-in" (meeting, event, class or open house; default), "visitor log" (date, visitor name, company, host, time in, time out, badge #, signature), "contact" (name, email, phone, company, OK to email) or "timesheet" (weekly sign-in and out by day). | |
| week_start | No | Timesheet only: first day of the week, e.g. "2026-11-02". Rows are grouped by day with dates. | |
| orientation | No | "portrait" or "landscape", e.g. "landscape". Default portrait (visitor logs and attendance sheets: landscape). Switches to landscape by itself when the columns do not fit. | |
| instructions | No | One line of instructions under the header, e.g. "Please print clearly". Each type has a default; "none" removes it. | |
| extra_columns | No | Columns to add to the defaults, e.g. "Dietary needs" or ["T-shirt size", "Initials"]. | |
| spots_per_day | No | Timesheet only: name rows under each day, e.g. 6. Default fills the page. |
