Previewing and Printing Preprocessing Details

Accelerus Icon
 

In many locations throughout Accelerus you may preview and print out listings, including in the Preprocess pane when importing CSV files, rolling over data, changing entity codes, etc.

The Print Preview window is the same in each case and it not only allows you to view the listing on screen, but to print selected or all pages and export the listing.

The toolbar at the top of the Print Preview window contains a wide range of tools that activate the many features of the window.
