Print Forms & Letters

Prev Next

The print menu looks the same in every module. When the user clicks the print menu button, the system knows which module they are in. It only shows forms and letters that match the module or the tab the user is viewing in the record.

For example, a user is in the permit system and has the inspection tab open within a permit record. When the print menu button is clicked, only the forms and letters related to permitting inspections are shown in the list.
