Customizing the Barchart Print Layout

Customizing the Barchart Print Layout

The Barchart Editor not only provides a means of updating and viewing activity information, but it may also serve as a simple and user-friendly schedule reporting tool due to its formatting and printing capability.

Page Setup

To configure the barchart print layout, choose Page Setup in FILE toolbar. Page setup enables you to specify the report titles’ footer, page orientation, and whether to include left and right logos on your report. You may also want to have the bar printed, overlaying a background picture for presentations. The printed report uses the defined Barchart Editor layout, including symbols, summaries, annotation, and field selection.

Print Preview

Press the preview button on the FILE toolbar to view the page before printing.

Print Preview is a quick and convenient way to view the current layout, page breaks, margins, header, and footer. Previewing the report ensures the report prints the way you want and enables you to make any necessary adjustments, so you will only need to print once. Print preview displays each report page as it will look when printed. The preview window initially displays the first page of the printout. The current page number and the total number of pages appear at the lower right end of the report page. Click the Next Page, Prior Page, First Page, or Last Page buttons to move from page to page in print preview. You can zoom in to view page details by clicking the Zoom icon.

The Safran Project Print Preview option lets you save your schedule to different graphical formats. The images look just like the report on the screen. Saving a plan to a graphic file allows you to paste the saved file into files created by other Windows applications, such as spreadsheets and word processor documents.

Copying the Preview to Clipboard

From Preview, Select Home and choose the Copy Page to Clipboard option. You can also use the shortcut CTRL+C. In other Windows applications, paste the clipboard picture into the application using the Paste option from the EDIT menu.

Email the Report

If you choose the Email Report option, Safran adds the printout as an attachment to your default mail in a PDF format.

Print Setup

The print setup dialog box allows you to select your default printer, page orientation, and paper size. The printer properties may vary for different printers. To configure the printer properties, please use the printer’s user manual.
