Report data can be saved, printed, and distributed in
a number of ways:
HTML—After the report
is displayed, it can be saved as an HTML file right from the browser window.
To save
report data in:
Internet Explorer:
Select File
| Save As in the browser.
Enter a name
under which to save file.
Select the type
of file to save report as (e.g., HTML) for Save
as type.
Browse in the
Save
In dialog to choose where on the local machine to save the
file.
Click the Save button.
Firefox:
Select File |
Save Page As...
Select “All
Files” for “Save as type”.
Enter a name
to save file as in File name,
and include the .html extension in the name. For example, to save
the report as “My Report”, the
name should be “My Report.html”.
Use “Save
In” to choose where to save the file.
Click the “Save” button.
Text
File—If
Export
is chosen for report style, report data is saved to your local machine.
After you click GO, a Save
As dialog box is displayed. Select where on your local
machine or network to save the file and click Save.
Printing—Reports
can be printed right from the browser. Select
File
| Print to display the browser’s Print dialog box. If the report is wider than the screen, choose Landscape
orientation. There
are certain functions of the browser that FootPrints cannot override.
For example, page breaks cannot be controlled when printing directly from
the browser (this is a function of HTML). In addition, for very
wide reports, some text on the right may be cut off by the printer, even
when printing in Landscape mode. To compensate,
if the Description or other multi-line text field is included
in the report, use the Description Wrapping feature to force the text
to wrap more narrowly. For example, instead of wrapping at 70 characters
(the default), try 50 characters. If text is still being cut off,
we recommend trying the Wrapped report and inserting line breaks, or using
the Export option.
Auto
Run Reports—Saved
report templates can be run automatically, with the output emailed to
a defined set of users and saved to the server. Please refer to Auto Run Reports for more information.
