Export & Print Operator Notes

Creating a report of your notes is a matter of using the search to locate the notes you want, then either exporting or printing those. There are two options for printing Operator Notes: You may use the print button at the top of the VTScada screen to print the displayed portion of the screen, or you can export a range of notes to an HTML format for printing.

Export for printing.

  1. Use the search tools to limit the display to the notes that you want to print.
    All comments on the selected notes will be included in the export.
  2. Click the Export button.


    A Windows® dialog will open, prompting for the file name and folder to which to save the data.
  3. Accept the default file name and folder, or enter a new destination.
  4. Click the Save button.
    If the file already exists, you will be prompted to replace it, or you may return to the previous step and create a new file name.
  5. The file will be saved.
    Your default browser will be opened automatically, displaying the contents of the file.
  6. Print from your browser.

Print the current screen.

Comments will be printed only if they are expanded on the screen.

  1. Use the search tools to limit the display to the notes that you want to print.
    Only notes that fit on the screen will be printed using this method.
  2. Expand any comments that should be printed.
  3. Click the Print button at the top of the screen.
  4. Confirm that you want to print the currently displayed list of notes by clicking OK.

The notes will be sent to your default Windows™ system printer.

Troubleshooting:

  • Nothing shows up at the printer.

Check your Windows™ print control settings to ensure that the correct printer is set as default.

Review the screen to ensure that there are notes.
