3.5.6.1 About Configuring Report Printing
Enable report printing by configuring printing settings at the instance level, application level, and page and region level.
To set up report printing functionality, you must configure the following printing settings:
-
Instance Level: For full development environments, instance administrators must select a Print Server under Instance Settings, Report Printer. In runtime environments, instance administrators must specify the level of functionality (Standard or Advanced) for an entire APEX instance, as described in this section.
-
Application Level: Developers can specify a Print Server at the application-level by editing the Print Server Type attribute on the Application Definition page. Alternatively, workspace administrators and developers can define Report Queries and Report Layouts. Report Queries and Report Layouts are stored under Shared Components and are not tied to a specific page.
-
Page/Region Level: Developers can edit the report regions on specific pages to enable printing. This enables end users to print regions as reports in various formats.
