Print Report Option

You can quickly print an object view using the Windows Client Print Report icon () from the toolbar of the object view.

Note: The Customize Reports Wizard in the Web Client provides a output report feature with output report options. You can then print the output report as you would any report. For more information, see the CAVantage SRM Web Client Guide.

When using the Windows Client Output Report wizard, the output includes all the information from your object view as it appears in your object view at the time you generate the report. Before you generate the report, you can use other object view options (such as filter, sort, color code, and so on) to design how the information appears in your object view and subsequently how the report appears. The number of records in the report depends on the settings in the Record Range page of the Output Report wizard. You also have the option of using the View and Output Definition wizard to customize reports with the appearance and information you want.
