Report Groups |
By default, the Print toolbar button is inactive for all screens. It is used to associate a screen with a specific report from the Queries/Reports -> Query Report Generator screen. To make that association, use the Report Groups screen. This screen is useful when user groups use different report formats to print data from the same screen.
The screen ID is linked to a report name. Once the report group is created, it is assigned to the user who will execute the reports. Users are assigned to reports on the System Mgmt -> Setup -> Access Rights -> Users screen. Once a report is associated with a screen, all users assigned to that report group can print the report using a Print button that displays on their toolbar. If there is no report associated with a screen, the Print button is not available.
Tip: To assign a report group ID to users who frequently use specific reports, use the Basic Info tab of the System Mgmt -> Setup -> Access Rights -> User Groups screen.
