As they stand now, some of the standard reports are difficult to read because they're in portrait mode and the columns are packed close together. Also, data for some fields gets cut off in order to fit in the space allowed on the report for that column. So, for instance, in the GL Account Transactions report when it is printed in portrait mode for the Person/Item column for a particular inventory item purchase transaction I get this:
"Party Empire/883"
I can see by looking at that line that I bought something from "Party Empire" with a stock number starting with "883" but that vendor sells a number of items that start with "883" so I can't tell what the item is.
Now, when I flip the report to landscape mode and print the same report again, I get this in the Person/Item column:
"Party Empire/88348"
I can now see the full item number of the item, and I can tell exactly what I bought.
So, as I said earlier, having the ability to print certain reports in landscape mode instead of portrait mode would be very handy. However, if the developers have more important things to deal with I can certainly create my own custom reports in landscape mode now that I know how to do it. It's a bit of mucking around on my part, but it's no big deal.
So, I throw it back to you, Joe... this feature would be very handy, but does the development team have the time/resources to do it?
I'll live with whatever is ultimately decided. Thanks for asking my opinion!
Regards,
Chris
