Direct Printers List View

A Direct Printer is a printer where specific documents are sent to notify people of work to do. For example, a printer in a specific cooler that is used to print order items that need to be picked from that cooler. Direct printers do not need to be installed locally on your workstation. This feature is not supported for any report that is accessed from a Functional Area Report page (i.e., analysis reports). From here, users can add, edit, or remove direct printers. Reports that are printed via the Print Icon can be send to a printer in this list. Additional configuration is required before this feature can be used. If you are interested in this feature, contact NLP Support.

Page Header
| Toolbar Icons | Description |
|---|---|
| Cancel | Cancels the current unsaved changes and returns the view from Edit mode to Read only mode. This toolbar icon is only displayed when the view is in edit mode. |
| Delete | Deletes the selected record(s). When clicked, users will be prompted with: "Are you sure you want to delete the selected records?". Click "OK" to confirm, or "Cancel" to return without deleting. WARNING: Records cannot be recovered once they are deleted! |
| Edit | Puts the list view in edit mode allowing all editable fields to be modified at one time. To get out of edit mode you must either Cancel or Save your changes. |
| Excel |  Clicking the Excel toolbar icon exports the current contents of the grid to an Excel file that is automatically downloaded. The contents that export are only those currently visible. If the grid is filtered, only the filtered contents will be exported. |
| Favorites |   Clicking on the star icon when it is an outline, adds the page to the 'My Shortcuts' tab and fills in the star. Clicking on the star icon when it is filled in (solid color), removes the page from the 'My Shortcuts' tab and returns the icon to an outline.
|
| Grid Layout | Opens the Saved Grid Layout menu that allows the user to select another saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to a grid, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Saved Grid Layout icon and save the changes to the grid layout and name the new layout. The new layout can also be set as the default, instead of the System View. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).
