Default Report Copies

A food bank may wish to always print a specified number of copies of a particular report each time it is run. A No. of Copies field exists in the Report Selections to facilitate this.

Ceres Object release 5.00.00 is required for the functionality described in this document.

Overview

Food banks have requested the ability to define a default number of copies to print for specific commonly printed reports. To meet this request, a No. of Copies field was added to the Report Selection Table.

The reports that are supported include:

note

  2. In the No. of Copies field, input the additional number of report copies you would like to print. Keep in mind that one original will also print. For example, if you wish to print three total copies, set No. of Copies to 2 (one original plus two additional.)

  3. To test, print the report for each Report Selection you updated. Confirm that the correct number of copies print. In the above example, printing a Posted Agency Invoice should result in three Agency Invoices.

  4. When printing reports, you can also add additional copies by adding an amount in the No. of Copies field on the Options FastTab of the report request screen. In the below example, four Agency Invoices will print; one original, two copies from the default setup above, and one more copy as specified here. Please note that entering 0 in the Number of Copies field prints the number of copies defined in the Report Selections (or three in our example.)
