Print Menu
The Print Menu provides easy access to most frequently
used reports. Daily, monthly and analytical reports may
be printed from this menu, as well as reports pertaining
to the form you are viewing in Collect!. You may customize
your printing settings or report templates.
Quick Print
This report prints the contents of the current form or list.
Quick Print can be used on any screen containing
editable fields.
All fields and lists within the form are printed in their entirety,
regardless of whether they extend beyond the bounds of the
screen. Please refer to How To Use Quick Print for more information.
When you use Quick Print in a list, totals are calculated for
all numeric fields in the list.
If you select the PRINT button on the Print Report
list, you will get a Quick Print of the Print Report
list itself. You must actually select Quick Print
from the list of reports to set your printing options
and print the details or list that you wish.
If you do not want a user to access the Quick Print option,
set the Access Rights for the Print -> Quick Print menu item
to be No Access. Doing this will also remove Quick Print from
the Reports & Letters list.
Reports And Letters
The Reports and Letters option displays a list of reports
that may be printed from this location in Collect!
Choose a report from the list and press Enter to print.
If you have tagged records, the report can be printed to
all tagged records. Or, if you have a list displayed, you can
print to all records or just the record currently selected.
The list of available reports changes, depending on the type
of record you have displayed. For example, when you are on a
Client form and choose this command, a list of all Client
reports is displayed. On the other hand, when you are on a
Debtor form, a list of Debtor letters is displayed when you
choose this command.
Daily Reports
Select Daily Reports to print reports that are normally
required on a daily basis. These include batch letters
and client acknowledgments, daily activity and
financial reports.
Monthly Reports
Select Monthly Reports to print reports that are normally
required on a monthly, or accounting period basis.
These include statements and checks, client status
reports, and financial summary reports.
Analysis And Summary Reports
Select Analysis and Summary Reports to print
reports that provide a periodic view of your
company's operations.
Trust Reports
Select Trust Reports to print comprehensive

Merge Documents
Select Merge Documents to use a third party
word processing template for your report.
Templates get their data from a CSV file printed
through Collect! or dynamically, using DDE.
If you do not want a user to access the Merge Documents option,
set the Access Rights for the Print -> Merge Documents menu item
to be No Access. Doing this will also remove Merge Documents from
the Reports & Letters list.
Collect! Data Table

a CSV file with all the Printable Field codes.
