Form Output Properties This dialog defines the print properties of the form. Title The full name/title of the form. This is what will appear on your report menus and form lists when you are asked to select a form/report to execute. Destination This defines where the form's output will be sent.
Print To Select the default printer device for the form. The form will take on the page size presently selected for that printer device. It is always recommended that you select the printer device you wish to use before designing a new form. This is because the size of the page you have to work with is often determined by the type of printer you select. Send To If you will be outputting to a disk file you should specify the full path and file name of the file to output. You can also click on the Copies The default number of copies to print of this form. This becomes the default setting unless overridden.
Suppress Print Settings Dialog If this option is ticked, you will not be prompted to check or change printer dialog settings before printing commences.
If you have selected the form's print output as "None", then this setting has no effect on the form as it will not be printed or previewed anyway. Chain Forms You may link up to 5 other forms to the current form when printing. After the current form has completed printing, the first form on the Chain Form list will be executed. This process will repeat until all forms on the list are printed. You may also embed forms inside other forms if you wish, so there is no practical limit to the number of forms you can print at once. Visual Builder will not re-execute a form that has already been printed. If you wish to print a form more than once you should increase the number of Copies setting. Notes Accesses any note information associated with the current form. This is user-defined area for storing notes on what the form does, how it works, etc. Page Set-up Accesses the page set-up dialog for this form. |
If the output is set to "none" all output is
suppressed, including paper (hard copies), fax and email.

The copies to print setting is generally
overridden when a form is printed directly from CAPITAL. For
example, when you print an invoice, a dialog appears prompting you
for the form name, number of copies to print and so on. The number
of copies to print is passed to Visual Builder as part of the print
job request, so under these circumstances the setting will be
ignored. The Copies setting is used, however, when a form is
printed directly from inside Visual Builder when executing forms
from the 'Execute Forms' folder.
