Better printing of Record Sets
Record set printing is often a mystery -
I often need to print a List View, but the printed result is very unpredictable.
Sometimes it turns out how I want, but other times the page is limited to the top of the page (see attached photo), and 3 times as many pages print since the whole page size isn't utilized. It seems to depend on the size of the columns and how many are hidden, etc, but I can't be sure what factors make it work.
The best workaround seems to be printing to pdf, checking it, and then printing that.
It would be great if:
1- Prints always utilized the full page
2- There was a print preview option
3- There was a way to specify Landscape vs Portrait

At my library system public service staff don't have permission to access the Export function - but I do know how to export a record set through Simply Reports.
In many cases this seems like overkill though - the way it prints from Polaris looks fine when printed to pdf. When printed directly it often splits into multiple pages which seems like a bug.

Hi Michael,
Have you tried using the Export action in record sets? That might help with getting the list formatted the way you would like and print from Excel instead of through the browser.
