Print reports

Introduction

You can print reports from Report Designer or from your main Herb software.

Fine tune page settings to fit information onto a report, such as margins, page size.
Change the report scale to a percentage of its usual size.
Print labels using standard Avery label sizes, or set up your own custom sizes.
Choose whether information is printed in a report or if it is printed on the first page using appearance properties. See Appearance properties.
Choose whether the first and last pages of a report, or a group within a report, are sent to a different printer or printer tray. See Multi-printer settings.

For example, this allows you to print the main body of invoices on normal paper and the last page as a tear-off payment form.
Change the print area of reports to fit your printer.

Different printers place reports in slightly different positions on the page. Rather than changing the margin size for every report, you could change the top and left outer printing area to suit your printer (printer offsets).
Allow or prevent grouped information in a report from breaking across pages. See Q: Group information.
Use Herb stationery for a range of reports. See Templates for Herb stationery.

To print your report:

Click Print Preview from the toolbar.

The Criteria Values window appears.
Enter the range of records you want included in your report and click OK.

If you don't enter criteria, all records are included in the report.
When the report appears, choose File > Print.

Tip: You can still make some final adjustments to your report in the preview; such as moving items, or changing their style.
