Printing Report - Instant Web Publishing

Hi. I've created a report which looks and prints fine from the desktop but when I publish with IWP I can't print the report at all.

I know IWP doesn't support printing but there has to be a way. Doesn't there? :hmm:

Thanks for any help. - Mike

You need to use the print button on the web browser.

Thanks for the response. If I use the browser print button it prints the entire web page. I want to just print the report.

i think you need to create the report as a pdf as well as just the IWP report - show the report, but have a link to the pdf for printing.

Another way to approach this is to generate the report in a browse view, as opposed to the FM client preview method.

 

For relatively simple reports you can mimic FMs native reporting through scripting and a global field. The script would ideally simulate the sorting of the data and then populate the global with each line of the report by appending the content, with the script advancing through the records using a loop.

 

Sounds clunky, but I have made this work, but you do not get much control over page size etc..

Thank you both, I'll play with those ideas and see what damage I can do.
