• An email address must be configured on the user account.
• If you do not receive an email with your report within a few hours, look in the system log to determine if there is an error.
• You might receive multiple emails for the report, depending on the size of the report and the value of the Windchill Quality Management System Batch Print Report Size preference.
• The report supports attachments of types PNG, BMP, JPG, TIF, GIF, WMF, and PDF. These attachments are added as individual pages in the report. Unsupported attachments are added as individual pages with an “unsupported printing format” message along with some additional information about the attachments.
• Only users in the quality system manager role can print batches of quality objects.
• Quality objects can be printed through the history report in JasperReports and the audit trail on the Timeline tab. Some items that do not appear in JasperReports might appear on the audit trail. The JasperReports is intended to be a company-configured electronic record, but the audit trail prints all fields.
• The date in the footer can differ from the individual report date. The footer prints the date and time when the batch started. The header for each record prints the date and time that the report for that complaint ran.
