TopForm Reporting Options

TopForm offers many options when it comes to reporting, both in the sheer number of reports available, as well as in the alternatives available at run-time. However, did you know that you also have the option to place your, or your customer's logo on your TopForm standard reports? If you didn't, this article will provide you with the instructions on how to accomplish these as well as other report formatting options.

If you are already taking advantage of the PDF Printing feature within TopForm, you already have a PDF Device setup. If not, you can replicate the sample setup shown in the full article.

Variable Print Option Now Supports Product Specific User Lists

TopForm has added a new feature to the Variable Print Option for Web.ec that allows the VPO Administrator to define item specific lists by selecting any two data input fields from the dropdown menus.

The TopForm Variable Print Option for Web.ec has a great feature, in that users can repeat a variable print item, quickly and easily by choosing it from a user list

Audit Reports

Did you know that if you have the TopForm Image Library, you can reprint any TopForm Journal or Audit Report from any Journal Printing program?

As one example, below is the Detail Transaction Register printing option. By clicking the see Images button, you have the option of choosing the Audit Report you wish to view or reprint.

QBF

Selling the Total Package

In 2004, QBF was using vendor supplied websites to process many of their business card orders. This certainly was a big improvement over handling these types of orders manually. As business card orders are typically small and have a high potential for error, allowing the customers to order on line improved efficiency and offloaded the responsibility for proofing. However, today, QBF is doing more than saving time on the proofing process. "We are selling the total package," says Brian Selvig. "And the TopForm Variable Print Option to Web.ec is a big part of that."

In 2005, QBF implemented the TopForm Variable Print Option and today customers can go on line and order Business Cards, Name Tags, Letterhead, Postcards, Brochures, and much more, all in one single shopping experience. This makes it easier for the customer. The orders go to a preselected vendor who provides the best quality and price for that particular item. That's better for QBF and their bottom line.

TopForm 2007 Client Conference Update

The management team of TopForm has been meeting to put together the final program for the 2007 TopForm Client Conference and although we're not ready to release it just yet, we did want to share some of the topics we have planned and solicit any additional input regarding topics that you would like to see added.

This site currently supports over $50 million dollars per year in annual revenue with over 420 active sites and 330,000 active users.
