Card Printing |
Use the Print feature to print a specific range of all the cards that are stored in the database. You can select various filters to customize the card list. You can preview your list so that you can modify or verify the settings (fields) before printing. You can also use the Font button to set a different font and font size for your report.
NOTE: Whatever your selections, the card user name and card number will always be displayed. By default, only fields containing information will be printed. If no fields are selected, only cards containing information will be printed. If you want to print empty fields, check the Print empty fields option. If you want to print component references, check the Print component references option. If you want to simply preview card reports there must be at least one printer installed on the computer.
1 - From the Card dialog, click the Printer button.
NOTE: By default, empty fields are not printed. To print empty fields, check the Print empty fields option.
2 - Select a sorting criteria from the Card Index drop-down list. These are card information fields.
3 - If you are printing a specific range, check the Specific range option. Select the field that will be used to sort the card list. For example, if you select Card number , the cards in the list will be sorted according to the card numbers in ascending order. This field can also be used to target a specific range of cards when using the Lower/Upper boundaries fields.
• If you want to print a specific range, you have to specify a starting number in the Lower boundary field. It has to be used with the Upper boundary field. You must use the “card index field”.
• If you have decided to print a specific range and if you have entered a Lower boundary value, enter the last number or letter in the Upper boundary field. This field is used with the Lower boundary and the Card Index field.
NOTE: Only cards that match ALL the selected filters will be printed. For example, if you specify six filters, all the six criteria must be met. Cards that do not match all the six criteria will not be included in the range.
4 - Select the Filter option if you do not want the system to search through all the cards of the system. Filters will restrict the search and facilitate the production of the desired card list.
• Start date between : The system will include cards with a “Start date” field which is within the specified range (Miscellaneous tab).
• End date between : The system will include cards with a “Use end date” field which is within the specified range (Miscellaneous tab).
