Printing Reports

WBI has the ability to print or download in popular file formats any of the reports that are used within AyaNova.

Customizing or creating new report templates:

Customizing or creating new report templates is not a feature of WBI

Do so via the AyaNova program itself. Refer to the AyaNova v4 Help section on creating custom reports, and for additional information and sample report templates,  to the AyaNova Support Forum section AyaNova Printing & Report Templates

How to print a report via WBI:

To print a report, select the Print menu option and the report template you wish to use.

NOTE: If printing from a workorder entry screen where the workorder itself has never been saved via WBI, you need to save it at least once via WBI before being able to print.

This will open a Print Preview of the report to be printed.

To print this report, use the Print or Print the current page icon on the web page itself

If you use your web browsers Print menu option or icon, that will result in a print of that screen itself, not the report.

Do note some web browsers react differently to printing certain images and fields (checkboxes) - for example IE 6 may not print out your images you have placed on report headers, or may not print out check-boxes.

You will  also want to remove headers, footers and margins from printing that would affect the layout of your report. Refer to this helpful web page which provides information on editing for IE and FireFox http://www.worldstart.com/tips/tips.php/642

How to download a report to a file

Exactly the same as printing except you can select a file format first then click on the save button to download to your local computer.

NOTE: If printing from a grid, it is recommended to save the report to a file (PDF, MS Word, etc) so that page breaks occur correctly in your report.

For example, if printing the Sample Dispatching Report from the Service Workorders grid for a number of different workorders, if you print directly the Print Preview, page breaks may not occur. Whereas if you first save the report to PDF, correct page breaks will occur in the document for when you print.

If data and fields do not print or show up with incorrect placement:

If you have fields that do not display on your report when printed via WBI or saved to PDF, Excel, Word etc, this is because fields in the report template are overlapping.
