Creating a custom table

The Custom Tables task provides an easy interface with which to view reports of device information. Although MVP does not provide a specific report writer, many reporting functions can be accomplished using custom tables. Custom tables can be sorted by any column and you can customize the appearance of tables by moving columns and changing the sort column and then saving your preferences. After it has been configured, a custom table can be exported to a comma-separated values (.csv) file, which can be opened by spreadsheet or word processing software. The Printer Inventory and Job Statistics: Trend Analysis tasks can also be used to populate databases.

1. From the MarkVision Professional Home screen, select Custom Tables - Create/Manage from the All Tasks list.

2. Click New.

3. Name the table.

4. From the Available Columns box, select the items to be included in the table.

5. Click > to move the selected items into the Columns In Use box.

6. Arrange the columns using the up and down arrows.

   For example, to make Duplex Option the first table column, move it to the first position in the Columns In Use box.

7. Select how to sort the rows of the table.

   For example, if you select Color from the “Sort Custom Table By” list, and then click Ascending, the table lists color printers first.

8. Click Apply.

   Note: Select the check box next to Frequent Task to associate a unique icon with the custom table. The icon appears as a frequent task icon in the menus area of the MarkVision Professional Home screen.

Viewing and editing a custom table

1. From the MarkVision Professional Home screen, select the previously named custom table from the All Tasks list.

2. The custom table appears:

   • To print the custom table, click Print.

   • To export the custom table, click Export.

3. To customize a custom table while viewing it:

   1. Reorganize columns by dragging them.

   2. Click a column heading to sort by that column.

   3. Right-click the table to save the changes or reset to the default column and sort order.

   Notes:

   • These changes do not change the table settings managed in each specific Custom Tables task; these are unique to each user account. To change the default column and sort order, use the Custom Tables task.
   • A convenient way to design custom tables is to keep the Custom Tables - Create/Manage task open while testing the table task. Make changes to the column content or order, click Apply, and then context-switch to the table task and press F5 to pick up the table changes.

Exporting a custom table

1. From the MarkVision Professional Home screen, select the custom table from the All Tasks list.

2. Select devices using the Quick Find or Folders tabs.

   Use Ctrl + click and Shift + click to select multiple devices.

3. Click Export.

4. Type a name for the file that will contain the data from the custom table, and select the location where the file will be saved.

5. Click Export.

Note: The data from the custom table is exported to a comma-separated values (.csv) file, which can be opened by spreadsheet or word processing software.
