    Hello- Is it possible to print the records list within a form?

    Example: I have a very simple form that has only 5 or so fields. When viewing the forms list, it only lets me print 1 record at a time. Is it possible to print the whole list?

    Thanks!

    Yes, you can do this.

    On the Print sheet, press the Show Details button and then click on the “Table of records” radio button under the Print Layout section.

    Thanks!

    Hi Brendan- Awesome. Should have known to look on the print sheet.

    Thanks!

    Hello Again- Sorry to bother, but I just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

    When I go to print the table of records, one of the fields will not show up when printing. I’ve enclosed a screensnap. What have I done wrong?

    Thanks!
    – Mr. Bill

    How wide is the Title & Description field in the multi-column list view? Maybe make it more narrow. If it’s too wide for the printed page, Tap Forms won’t print it.

    Do other columns show up if you enable the fields?

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    Howdy- I have it working… sort of… Just as you suspected, its column width. But its sort of which columns are included in addition to width. It took trial, error, and some sacrificing which fields get printed. For the most part, I have what’s really needed working.

    Its funny though, its pretty narrow and the info bleeds beyond the column width on the screen. But when its printed, there’s plenty of room.

    Any tips around this or is this how it is (screen vs print).

    Thanks!

    Which version of Tap Forms Mac are you running and do you have any Section Heading fields in your form? I made a small bug fix in that area recently. It was using the wrong column widths if you had a section heading field before the columns you were trying to print.

    Hey Brendan- I figured out what its doing (I think). If the forms in list view above a custom layout goes outside a printed page setting, it truncates it. This behavior makes sense. One work around is that if I make a column wide and the select double spacing on the printout, it will wrap the text. Which again, sorta makes sense. In any case, I’m using 3.5.10.734.

    Thanks!
