Printing and editing reports

Print predefined reports, create variants for several languages, and adapt the reports in the List & Label designer.

Whenever you print something during daily work with portier®VISION, for example an issue receipt, a loss report or a query result, you are working with predefined reports.

To see which reports portier®VISION provides, go to the menu System and select Report Designer (German menu: System → Berichtsdesigner).

A list of all report names is at the end of this article. The screenshots in this article show the German interface.

Depending on your licence, you can also design these reports yourself. portier support can tell you whether the Report Design function is enabled in your installation.

If you would like to adapt reports to your company-specific needs, we are happy to put you in touch with an external service provider.

You can also keep several forms available for one process. For example, your company has a branch in Germany and one in the UK. You duplicate the issue form and keep one version in German and one in English.
