When the window opens, right click on a printer. Click on ‘Set as Default Printer’ in the menu to toggle this setting. A checkmark should now appear in front of the desired printer.)

Clicking on the Print button will print the selected report in PC/POLL's Version 6 report format. The top of the report will include information about the register, date and time the poll was taken, type of poll, etc.

Clicking on the Preview button will display the current poll in a report format. The top of the report will include information about the register, date and time the poll was taken, type of poll, etc. (Double-clicking on the report will also preview it.)

Export

Exporting will automatically save the information in the report to a text file. After clicking on Export, a window will appear displaying the name and location of the file containing the information. To change the format of the report, return to the main menu. Click Setup, then Preferences, and select the File Names tab.  Choose the desired report format.

Consolidate

The program displays this window when the Consolidate button is clicked. All of the information will be blank. Select the Date Range, Store Range, Machine Range, and Poll Info. Poll Type can be set to All, X, or Z. Poll Area can be set to All, Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, or Area 4.

Click OK on the consolidate screen and the consolidated report will be displayed. When the report is closed and if “Export to File” was originally checked, the program prompts for the location and file name of the report file. (If a name of an existing file is chosen, the information will be appended to the end of the file.) After closing the report, the consolidate report is deleted from Version 6, and the only record of this information is in the exported file. To view a consolidated report again, redo the report or open the exported text file.

Note: In builds prior to #301, the date format must be set as month, day, year (mm/dd/yyyy) in order for the Consolidate option to function properly.
