The Report Viewer in Allpro Insulator can be accessed from any of the Report Master dialogues by using the View Document Action.  This help page will cover how navigate a report in the Report Viewer as well as how to print and export reports directly from it without returning to the Report Master Dialogue and selecting a different Document Action. Whether performing a preliminary check or simply viewing data, the report viewer can help save time and resources.

Navigating a Report in the Report Viewer

After opening a report in the Report Viewer, users will see a menu with various icons in the area above the report. This menu is pictured below, followed by a description of its functions and how to use them.

Export Report – This menu option allows the user to export the displayed report, much like the Export Document Action in the Report Master.  Clicking this icon will open a dialogue from which the user can select the file type and location to save the exported file.  The default “Save as Type” will be Crystal Reports (*.RPT), which is not accessible for most users.  Be sure to select PDF (*.PDF) from save type and name the document before saving it.

Print Report – This menu item allows the user to print the displayed report through the Windows printer dialogue.  Unlike the Print Document Action, it allows users to select a printer and configure printer options before printing the document.

Refresh – This menu item has no function for Allpro Insulator users.

Copy – This menu item has no function for Allpro Insulator users.

Parameters – This menu item has no function for Allpro Insulator users.

Structure – This menu item is not typically used by Allpro Insulator users, but allows them to view the structural layout of the data in the report.

Next Page – This menu item will display the next page of a report with multiple pages.

Previous Page – This menu item will display the previous page of a report with multiple pages

Last Page – This menu item will display the last page of a report with multiple pages.

Search – This menu item opens a dialogue and allows the user to search the report for a specified text value.

Zoom – This menu item allows the user to select a zoom level from a dropdown list of options.
