Printing and Exporting Reports

When viewing reports in the Report Manager, users can print the reports directly from their browser. The print button in the report toolbar utilizes an ActiveX control for client-side printing. The first time this button is clicked on a given computer, the user is prompted to install the ActiveX control shown below 

After that, the standard Windows print dialog box is displayed for the user to select a printer and paper size, etc.

 

Users can also export the report into any of several handy formats. Table 17-1 lists the available export formats.
