Report Print

This Reports tool is used to output to a printer, or to file, via the printer drivers. A blank printer name will output to the default printer. The only input parameters that you need to provide for this tool are those that are User Defined in Interaction Administrator. All System Defined and fixed-value parameters will be passed in automatically.

Notes: If printing to file, no automated cleanup of the files will take place. Either automated or manual cleanup routines are required to remove any files after they have been used.

When CIC runs as a service, care must be taken to insure that the printers being used are accessible by the service. Services either must be given specific user privileges, or devices need to have printing rights granted to everyone to insure that printing is possible. Also the full path to the printer as seen on the Printer Properties/Secuity/Permisions will likely have to be used unless the printer is local.

Inputs

Report Name

This is the report definition that will be used to processes the requested report. It must be an Identifier Name of a report configured in Interaction Administrator, and not the Display Name.

Printer Name

Printer name used for output. A UNC path may be required to correct address the printer if it is a network printer. If no printer name is supplied, the default printer will be used.

Tells print engine number of copies to print. Value defaults to one if nothing is supplied. The range is 0 to 65,000.

The starting page of the report. If nothing is specified, 1 is used.

Ending Output Page

The ending page of the report. If nothing is specified, the last page of the report is used.

Collate Flag

Set this value to "true" if you want to collate. Set this value to "false" if you do not want the report collated. If you leave this value empty, the default value is true.
