Printing a dataset in Windows Client

Basics

Creating a printout can be compared with executing report whereas the data are selected previously when the main window respectively the search window are invoked. You can save documents created with the printout as PDF-file and use them for other purposes or route alternative printing jobs directly to a printer.
The printout from the form view of the main window also contains information from linked information areas (entities). The title bar of the report viewer always displays the current name of the report.

The print button can have a pull-down menu. The entries can be configured and sorted by your administrator. So, you have several printing options (reports) available.
