How can we improve PI Vision?

← PI Vision

Print a display as a report

Be able to print a display to be used as a 'report'. Include printing / saving as a .pdf. Consider an option to print the colors so it looks good on white paper.

    I have pages with many graphs (35 plus) that I would print directly and would want some smarts to the print so that graphs/data doesn't cross a page break and preferably be able to print in landscape.

    This would making recording and logging plant events for corrective action reviews easier and data sharing to managers easier.

    To be honest, I feel like printing was an after thought? We have data, we need a good way to view and print it.

    We are using IE 11 and when we print - It's a blank page. Other browsers kind of work, but we have to use IE.

    I'm tired of the printer marketing spam on this thread . . . rescinding my vote . . .

    It would be nice if we could export the Pi Vision display as a PDF file. Something like a Screenshot of the display.

    This is definitely an important feature for every Pharmaceutical company. I believe it is important to have also the option of embedding the following information in the printouts created (read-only fields which cannot be modified by the end user), possibly in the header or the footer:
    1. "Current User ID or Full Name" of the person who is printing the report.
    2. Current date & time (when the report is being printed)
    3. Page X of N pages

    The requirement to be able to print or save the report has been stated for a long time. As stated below: it is a must for any regulated industry.

    This will be a great idea and a must to implement in the next release.
    Potentially this feature will save time in creating manual reports.

    YES! Vision has the potential to replace many static reports that are common in industry!!!!

  • Rene Dietzel commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    A standard printing/pdf functionality is a "must have" for regulated industries. Printing via browser is no option and is not acceptable from our point of view.

    The ability to pre-define some key print fields for a particular screen would make this feature more suitable to reporting solutions.

    Predefined print margins, page orientation, background color, header/footer, pagination.

    Headers/footers I think ideally should have the ability to embed some parameters like
    page x
    page x of y
    Print date time
    For screens that have an EF time range applied
    EF name
    EF start time
    EF end time

    A ausência da opção de impressão faz muita falta.

    Falta a opção para salvar dados em arquivo csv ou txt.

    O fundo preto é muito ruim.
