Printing Overview


With SWISSLOG you can print in different ways.

This is the method you will use most of the time. It allows you to print you logbook, QSL cards and labels, award applications and much more.

This function allows you to print the current Logbook View exactly in the layout as it is displayed. You will use this function mostly if you have used the grouping and summing functions of the Logbook View.

Print with the Report Generator

You can print QSOs with the Report Generator from every Window where QSOs are displayed.

Each of these actions opens the Print / View Reports window.

Click on any of the components in the dialog window to get more information about it.

Note: the Report you use to display the QSOs may contain query definitions which filter out some QSOs. So if you don't see what you expect check the query definitions of the report.

Here you select the report you want to print. It is an explorer-like list. By default it shows you the ..\Reports directory of SWISSLOG with all the sub directories which contain the reports.
