Printing

Printing screens from CALIDUS Vision is accomplished through several means.

• The Popup Toolbar Print option
• CSV/Formatted Output.
• Use the browser's frame printing ability.
• Where available, through table Export functionality.

Popup Toolbar Print Option

The main screen has a pop-out toolbar in the top-left corner - click on the '>' button and choose the Print... option. This will start your browser's Print dialogue, and will only print the data shown in the main frame.

Selecting any option on this pop-out toolbar will also close the toolbar. You can also close the toolbar by clicking the '<' button.

CSV/Formatted Output

Enquiries allow you to export data to CSV or formatted output. Once this is exported, you can print from the application that opens the data file.

Browser Printing

This is different from browser to browser and the main browsers' mechanisms are summarised below:

Mozilla Firefox

Right-click on the data frame (i.e. where the data is being displayed rather than the main frame with the header and menu) and choose This Frame>Print Frame.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

Select File>Print then click Options. Ensure the option 'Only the selected frame' is chosen, then click Print.

Google Chrome

Right-click on the data frame (i.e. where the data is being displayed rather than the main frame with the header and menu) and choose Open in new tab/window. Once this has opened, print the frame using the normal print command.

Opera

Right-click on the data frame (i.e. where the data is being displayed rather than the main frame with the header and menu) and choose Frame>Open/Open in new tab. Once this has opened, print the frame using the normal print command.

Table Export

Where available, this feature is accessed using the provided Export button on the table. The system will offer a variety of export options:

• Copy - All columns and rows in the table, regardless of search or column visibility, will be copied to the local machine's paste buffer. This can be pasted into any local application for formatting and printing.
• CSV - The application will generate a CSV (comma-separated values) file and (dependent on Browser settings) will either open this in the local PC's chosen application, or in the browser window or new tab, or offer to save the file to the local machine. In all cases, the data is raw CSV and unformatted. All columns and rows in the table, regardless of search or column visibility, will be exported.
• Excel - The application will generate a Microsoft Excel (tm) file and (dependent on Browser settings) will either open this in the local PC's chosen application, or in the browser window or new tab, or offer to save the file to the local machine. In all cases, the data is basically formatted. All columns and rows in the table, regardless of search or column visibility, will be exported.
• PDF - The application will generate an Adobe PDF (tm) file and (dependent on Browser settings) will either open this in the local PC's chosen application, or in the browser window or new tab, or offer to save the file to the local machine. In all cases, the data is formatted. Note that this feature is currently experimental. All columns and rows in the table, regardless of search or column visibility, will be exported.
• Print The application will open a new browser tab or window and will generate a plan page containing only the table's data. The browser's print dialogue will open, allowing the page to be printed. On completion, this tab will close. All rows in the table, regardless of search, will be exported. Only columns selected will be shown.
