Downloading/Printing Table specs?

  • 1.  Downloading/Printing Table specs?

    Posted 04-26-2023 12:19

    Is there a secret to printing/downloading the table specs?  Client wants the customer master definition.  If I click on the browser print option, I get the entire screen.  Not what I want.  I ended up copy/pasting the right hand side of the view to Word.

    Am I missing the secret to downloading the information?

    TIA

    You're not missing anything, @Jeff Schwenk. That's all there is. This has been very frustrating for me. I think I'll post an enhancement request in 90 Minds.

    Not surprising.  Let me know when you create one.  I will look at the idea web site when I have time as well.  So many improvements, so few Sage employees to do them.

    It's not perfect, but if you right-click on the layout and choose Print Frame you can get a simpler printout.

    @Bill Pfahnl - What browser?  I am using Edge.  I can get what you have above, it is not 100%, but it is much better than what I started with.

    I use Firefox. You're right in that Edge works differently. In Edge, if you select the layout (Ctrl-A) and then click print (Ctrl-P), it will only print what's selected.

    I don't have the Print Frame option, but I do have View Frame Source, and that provides a good-enough listing to print to PDF. Thanks for this tip, @Bill Pfahnl

    Temporarily hide the list of files on the left by clicking the arrow.  Then, click in the document, Ctrl-A and print.

    I've been asked for this too, and it is a head-scratcher.  The help files are now link-friendly and accessible from anywhere... why would anyone want a printed copy?
    Now, if the listing was plugged into the actual customer data dictionary, including UDFs and fields added by enhancements, I could see the value in sending such a static result... but AFAIK, that is not possible.

    "if the listing was plugged into the actual customer data dictionary"

    This would be awesome!

    Bonus points if there was an easy way to show changes.
    I don't get asked frequently about what fields have changed - but it does happen. And I don't see a good way to provide a list of field changes.
