Printing Tickets or Users

Most web browsers allow you to print anything on your screen through a print command. You can thus print any set of records being viewed by simply using your browser's print command.

You must click with your mouse in the main frame of the table or form display (the part that contains the user or ticket information that you wish to print) before selecting your browser's print command to print just that information and not the top frame.

There is also a print command on the Tickets/Manage and Users/Manage action bar which enables the convenient printing of multiple records as a list (in the current columnar or row-oriented view) or in the full form layout (one after the other).

The print command is useful, for instance, if you have changed your table display to include all the fields and a filtered set of records that you want to print.

However, if you are using a columnar display and it is too wide to print, it will generally be truncated by your browser. Before you print, you may wish to change the display and narrow the columns you want to have printed so that they total 85 characters or less, or use a row-oriented display, which will wrap automatically.

Row oriented displays will wrap automatically if they are too wide to be printed, as long as you have not combined too many fields on a single row. Thus row oriented displays are generally better suited for printing.

The Print command also allows you to print a single ticket or user in the current view format or a sequence of unrelated tickets or users in form layout. When you select this command, the Print Tickets or Print Users dialog appears. Depending on whether an item's check box is selected before executing the print command, the options on the screen will be a bit different. The following figure shows the Print Ticket dialog when a single ticket is selected:

Selecting Current will print just the selected ticket.  Selecting All will print all tickets in the found set.  If no ticket is selected when you click , then only the option to print All tickets would appear, and it would mean all tickets in the current found set.

The option to "Show Selected Fields" will maintain your currently selected view but arrange it in printable format. The option to "Show All Fields" will display the tickets in consecutive order in "form layout," that is, showing all fields to which you have access for each ticket.
