Print the report

Your report can be printed directly from Flexmonster via the OS print manager.

In this guide, you will learn how to:

Note In Flexmonster, you can also save, export, or share your report.

Print the report via UI

Step 1. Open a view that you want to print. It can be one of the following:

Step 2. Select Export > Print on the Toolbar to print the view:

This will open the OS print manager from where you can start printing.

Note If you start printing in the drill-through view, the current grid or chart view will be printed instead.

To print the report programmatically, use the print() API call:

flexmonster.print();

This will open the OS print manager from where you can start printing. Try it on JSFiddle.

The print() API call also has an optional options parameter that can contain the following properties:

Property/Type	Description
header String \| HTML string	optional When setting the `header` in the HTML string format, you can use tags, inline styles, and Base64 images. The HTML header is rendered in the browser and added as an image to the printed PDF file. Besides, you can use the `##CURRENT-DATE##` and `##PAGE-NUMBER##` tokens.
footer String \| HTML string	optional When setting the `footer` in the HTML string format, you can use tags, inline styles, and Base64 images. The HTML footer is rendered in the browser and added as an image to the printed PDF file. Besides, you can use the `##CURRENT-DATE##` and `##PAGE-NUMBER##` tokens.

Here is an example with the header and footer properties:

const options = {
  header:"<div>##CURRENT-DATE##</div>",
  footer:"<div>##PAGE-NUMBER##</div>"
};
flexmonster.print(options);
