Reports

In Recreatex, each module provides a variety of reports which you can find in the Reports section of each module, e.g.:

Framework_Reports2.png

When calling up a report, the window will look like the following example:

You can find a toolbar in the top left corner of the window, followed by a preview of the selected report.

Export the report

You can export the generated Recreatex report to a file and save it or e-mail it directly. The supported file formats include PDF, DOC(X), XLS(X) and RTF.

Email exported file

To export a report and send it directly to several e-mail recipients, first select the Type of file (1) from the available drop-down list and choose the option Mail Recipient as To destination (2).

The File name (3) is filled in automatically (the default name of the report) but you can always rename the report by typing a different name directly in this field.

In the section Send per e-mail (4) specify the recipient(s) and additional email options.

From

Fill in the address of the email sender.

If an address is specified in the system parameters (SydAdmin), it will be filled in by default but can be changed manually, if needed.

To

Cc

Bcc

Fill in the recipient of the e-mail.

You can type an email address manually but if the recipient already exists as a customer in Recreatex (with a valid email address), you can click the button en_framework_0118.bmp to open the customer overview and select the desired customer (or an internal employee) directly.

To add multiple recipients, you can either manually enter the email addresses, separated by a semicolon (;), or click the button en_framework_0122.bmp to select an additional recipient from the customer overview. In that case, the semicolon (;) is added automatically.

Options

You can choose:

  • Confirm receipt: to receive a delivery confirmation

  • Confirm read: to request a read confirmation

Email Message

Click the en_framework_0026.bmp to select an existing email template. The email text will be added in the section Body

For more information about email templates in Recreatex, see E-mail messages.

Subject

Enter the subject of the email.

Body

If you do not use an email template (see above), you can always type an email message directly as plain text or formatted as Html.

Click OK to export the report and send it immediately per email. An info message will be shown if the export was successfully sent.

Print the report

When printing the report, you can select your preferences in a Windows Print dialogue.

en_framework_0044.bmp

Click Print to apply the preferences and print the report.

Important

When generating a report, the layout will take into account the default printer as configured on your computer. If the report appears small and narrow, the default printer on your computer may be set to a receipt printer. Change the default printer to an A4 printer or PDF printer to correct the layout.
