Print Settings

1.General Settings

Set the printer, page size and page orientation of the output. Note that you have the ability to print to PDF using MasterSeries’ built-in PDF writer.

2.Output Type

Set whether to print to PDF, Word or to a physical printer.

3.MasterSeries PDF Options

If you have selected to print to PDF using MasterSeries’ built-in PDF writer, you will have access to these addition options. You can have the software:

Ask for the file name on every export to PDF

Overwrite the existing default file name (taken from the MasterFrame file name)

Increment the file name – PDF exports will end with a “_X.pdf” where X is a number

Note: By default, PDF exports will be saved in the same directory as your MasterFrame file.

4.Default Settings

You can save the current print settings as the default settings by checking this box and clicked Save when you’re done.

Selecting Several Report Items

To select multiple items from the Report Contents box, you can:

Hold Ctrl to select individual items

Hold Shift to select all items between a range

Notes:

When dragging multiple items to the Report Layout pane, you will need to click and drag from the primary item (the item highlighted in blue)

The multi-selection functionality is limited to the Report Contents pane – you cannot use it with the Report Layout pane

Using Click and Drag

Report items can be manipulated in the follow ways:

Dragging from Report Contents to Report Layout will add the item to the Report Layout box for printing

Dragging from Report Layout to Report Contents will remove the item form the Report Layout

Drag items vertically within the Report Layout box to reorder them – this will be reflected in the printed report

Notes on Container Items

Container items are used only to group other report items – they have no output themselves. To add printable report items to a Container, simply click and drag an item to the Container and it will appear as a sub-item of the Container.

Notes:

You can manipulate sub-items of a Container using either the click and drag functionality described above, or using the Add, Remove, Up and Down buttons

All sub-items can be included or excluded from the pint output by checking/unchecking the Container item

Containers cannot have another Container as a sub-item
