Print result set from Portal

[cmb917]

I'm sure this is a straightforward request, but I'm unable to find any post that addresses this requirement.

I've created a standalone runtime solution that is accessed via CD-ROM. The solution has portal that filters a result set based upon several criteria selected by the user. I've set up a button beneath the portal that prints "records being browsed".

Requirement: I'd like for the end-user to be able to print only the output of their filtered criteria.

What I get is 6 blank pages and 2 pages with half the screen printed. I appreciate any help within this regard.

Hey there,

Try the Go To Related Records script step in the button script.

You would select your portal's table occurrence as the "Get related records from:" and and the print layout that you want to use. Make sure that you're viewing "Show only related records"

That should give you a non-portal view of the records based on the criteria your user has put in.

Hope that helps!

Create a layout that is set up to display records from the related table that is shown in the portal.

Arrange it so that it prints out in a format that your user would understand.

Attach a script to your button that goes along these lines

Freeze the layout that the user is on.

Go to your new layout (as above)

Print

go to original layout.

I think that should do the trick.

In essence what I am suggesting that you do is print from the related file not the parent file. The freeze step will allow it to happen without the user being aware of any switching of tables
