    Printers Product Guide published

    The BusinessCraft Printers menu (Security Setup > Printers) comprises three components: 

    • Printer
    • Templates
    • Template Batches


    Printers provide the ability to maintain printer queues used within BusinessCraft.  

    Templates provide customisable, user defined layouts for printed documents as distinct from reports. Initially, the primary purpose of a printer template was to define a layout to print to a printer. Over time other methods to output data have been added including Preview, PDF, Email and XML.

    Template Batches provide the option to include multiple template codes for one template file into a Template Batch. Template Batches will be available for use wherever the template file on which that template batch is based is available.
