4 Print-time options

The optional Print-Time Options dialog appears when you print a diagram or report, providing choices that you can make at that time.  A diagram or report’s blueprint defines whether the print-time options dialog appears, and what options it contains.  As of February 2025, only the rack layout diagrams support print-time options.

 

Figure 1 – Print-time options dialog

 

The purpose of the print-time options dialog is to provide some degree of configurability without modifying a diagram or report’s blueprint.  For example, if you want to print rack layout diagrams for the warehouse crew to set up a specific type of single-shot rack in the warehouse prior to the show, you can use the default “Rack Layout Per Single-Shot Rack” diagram and enter a value for “Additional search terms or expression to filter racks” to filter the printed document to the specific type of rack you want to set up.   If that type of rack contains in its description the word “Mincom” then you could add the filter description += mincom.  If only that type of rack has between 10 and 20 holders, you could add the filter tubes >= 10 + tubes <= 20.

 

Table 1 – Print-time options fields

Field Description
Position name filter A full text search filter applying to the position names.  Whatever string of characters you type into the field must appear in the position name for the position to be included.  For example, the phrase “FR” would include positions “FR” and “FR-01” and “front” but not “F-01”.
Additional search terms or expression to filter racks A filter applying to the set of rack instances being considered, i.e., the rows in the table at the bottom of the rack layout view.  If you want to include only cake racks, for example, you could type the word cake into this field, or more specifically description += cake to limit racks to those whose Description contains the word “cake”.   The syntax for expressions is described in Filter / search expressions.
Page range A page or page range specification.  Enter a single page number, like “2”, or a page range, like “2-5”, or a comma separated list of pages, like, “2, 3, 10”.
