In this step, you define an optional printer attribute.
Printer attributes are used for physically printing a report instance
on a printer.
About this task
Note: Because the custom report that you are defining
will be displayed online only, the printer attribute that you will
define is atypical; most fields will be left blank or retain a default
value of 0. To define a printer attribute, you must be familiar with
the printers and printing environment at your site.
To define printer attributes:
Procedure
- From the Output Manager main menu, choose option A, Administrative Functions,
and press Enter. The Administrative Functions panel is displayed.
- Choose option K, Printer Attributes, and press Enter.
A search panel is displayed. Press Enter to proceed to the Printer
Attributes panel.
- Type ADD on the command line and
press Enter.
The Printer Attributes Detail panel is displayed.
- In the Name field, type a name for the printer attribute.
This name can be up to 32 characters long. (Record this name; you
will need to enter it later when creating a report selection rule.)
- In the other fields, accept the default settings. To learn
about these fields, you can press F1 for online Help.
- Press F3 (Exit). An exit confirmation pop-up window is
displayed.
