The N-FOCUS List Print Viewer displays when the print menu item is selected on a list window. This is how N-FOCUS now processes list prints. Displaying the Viewer lets the user readily see how large the document is before sending it to the printer, and allows the user to further refine the document before printing it.
The main List Print Viewer window provides user navigation using toolbar icons, and menu items.
Toolbar Icons
|
The Export icon on the toolbar permits the document to be exported into other file formats; in particular, it is possible to export the data to Excel. |
|
The Print icon is the second icon. You can also print using the menu item File / Print, or the standard keyboard shortcut, CTRL + P. |
|
The Refresh icon is the third icon. It refreshes the display of the document. This is not applicable to list prints. |
|
The Toggle icon is the fourth icon in the toolbar. It toggles the display of the group navigation pane. When the data in a document is grouped, the group navigation pane displays the group names included in the document, and when a group name is clicked, you are taken to that group’s location in the document. |
|
The next four icons provide one option for page navigation; they correspond to the first page, the previous page, the next page, and the last page. Another option for navigating is to click on the document display, and use the keyboard Page Up, Page Down, up arrow, and down arrow keys. |
|
Next in the toolbar is the page number display. The current page number can be over-typed to go directly to that page. |
|
The binoculars icon enables searching through the document for the specified text. |
|
The last item on the toolbar controls the zoom factor. In addition to the drop down, when keyboard focus is in this control, the zoom factor can be changed using the mouse wheel. |
Menu Items
The File menu has items Change Title, Print, and Close. If the user wants to modify the document’s title to further describe the result of any sorts or filters, the Change Title menu provides that capability; however, the title is limited to a total of 127 characters. Print will print the document, and Close will close the Viewer window.
The View menu has items for sorting and filtering the document—Sort, Basic Filter, Advanced Filter, and Unfilter. Unfilter will remove any filtering currently applied in the document. The other menu items bring up windows where the user can change the sort order, and/or filtering criteria. These windows are described in more detail elsewhere.
The Help menu has the standard items included in other N-FOCUS windows.
Sorting and Filtering
When sorting and/or filtering are done in the calling list window, that information is also applied to the document in the viewer, and when possible, will be used to pre-populate the Viewer’s sort and filter windows. If the user changes the sorting and/or filtering using the Viewer’s sort and filter windows, these windows continue to be pre-populated with the current sort and filter.
