Printscreen in OpenERP 7

Printscreen in OpenERP 7

        Print screen was a feature of OpenERP which enables the user to take the printout of the tree view of the selected records. This feature was available in OpenERP 6.1 GTK client was not available in OpenERP 6.1 web client and OpenERP 7. In OpenERP 7, there is an option to take printout of the tree view. But in OpenERP 7 we cannot select the particular records which we want to print in the report. 

           We have developed a new module which enables users to take the printout of the selected records in the tree view. The module name is web_print screen. After installing the module, a new dropdown will be available in the header of each tree view. No configuration is required, jut installing the module is enough. A screenshot is shown below:

Print screen Menu

In the screenshot you could see on the top a new menu called "Print screen" has be added. It is a dropdown menu in which the user can select weather to print in PDF of Excel. A screenshot is shown below:

Print screen Dropdown

In the menu, user can either select to print the report in PDF or in Excel. When the user selects all the rows and select to print PDF, all the records will be printed. A screen shot is shown below:

Report Generated when all records selected

When selected particular records, only the selected records will be printed. A screenshot is shown below:
