Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
| Select this check box to activate the current record. Disabled records keep their content and setup but cannot be used by recalling their code:
The authorizations for a given function can prohibit the creation of an active record. In this case, the check box is disabled by default. It can only be modified by an authorized user or through a signature workflow. |
| This access code makes it possible to prohibit access to the current record for some users. If the field is populated, only users that have this access code with read access rights (and write access rights respectively) can view (or with write access rights, modify) the record. The execution right associated with the destination controls the right to use this destination for the printing of a report. |
| It defines the destination of the report that is going to be calculated. If this field is assigned, most of the information of the next boxes is displayed. It should be noted that a destination code corresponds either to a printer, a file, a message, or a file containing the printing flow specified for a given type of printer. |
| This field is used to specify the name of the file generated for a ZPL type printer or the name of the directory in which the file is created. It must be indicated with the complete hard-coded path or in a formula (in the form = expression). If the file ends with one of these two characters '/' or '\', this latter is considered as a warehouse directory for the files and in this case, the file generated in the PAT sub-directory of the folder is copied to the directory. The name of the file to be used is made of the concatenation of the tree following elements: the code of the ZPL template, the number of the current process (adxuid(1)), and the current date and time of the processing server, generated under the format YYMMDDhhmmss. If the field Server is entered, the user must specify a path available from the print server (for example: file://machine/directory/file). If the field Server is not entered, you can specify a path in one of the following formats:
If the file name contains an "@", the file is copied by a system command from the processing server or from the customer. In the Print function, this file name is suggested by default after the selection of the report destination. |
| Define the print server from which the report will be printed. Update 8.0.0 and higher : Cloud-based solution Send a Sage help request with the IPP printer address so that it can be added to your Enterprise Management site in the Cloud. Then enter the locations of the server and the printer provided by the technical support. |
| The printer name defined here will be proposed when the printing of the report. It must correspond to the name of a printer defined in the Windows configuration panel. |
| When the issue is made to file, different formats are available for selection here. This list of formats depends on the version of Crystal Reports, it is likely to evolve with time. |
| This field is used to assign a type to the destination. This type, defined by local menu 22, possesses the following characteristics :
|
| This is used, in case of a printer output, to give a default value to the number of copies to be performed. |
| If several copies are requested, and the box is checked, the pages are assembled before printing the next exemplar. Otherwise, each page is repeated. For instance, for the printing of two copies of three pages :
