My Plants Report
|
|
|
|
- Start the program My Plants - FG034
- You can select an alternative Data Source in this report e.g. you could print the list of plants in the Master Database
- By default, the Print all plants in this database checkbox is ticked
- To explore the options, click the check box: Print plants in Garden Areas only
Extra pop-ups appear, allowing you to select a Garden and All, or
a selected Garden Area or Division
- Click the Refresh
button at any time to see a VERY approximate mock-up of your report
This is quick, even if you have a large database, as the output can be limited by the value of the Lines to show field (you can change this if you wish)
- A Print Order pop-up allows you choose to print your report a) Alphabetically by Botanical name or b) by Plant Number
- Note that Flower Genie assigns a unique Plant Number to each plant you add to your database.
This Plant number never changes, so you can safely use it for reference purposes.
- Play with the check boxes down the left side of the screen.
Click the Refresh
button to see the effect of checking/unchecking the various check boxes, prior to printing your report
- Note the set of radio buttons to control output. Once again, the default setting is to Preview the report.
When you click a Print button, the Preview shows an EXACT simulation of your report.
Use the windows Close button to close the Preview window, and return to this screen.
- Two Print
buttons are provided, one for printing on A4 paper, as used in Europe, the other for printing on standard sized paper used in USA.
Other paper sizes can be provided on request. If necessary, please ask.
