System List buttons

Three buttons at the bottom of the System(s) tab (picture view) are available to users with full-configuration-rights.

    • Cancel printing after the print job has been executed, but you can access the operating systems print queue and cancel the print job

    • Print to a file

    • Print selected systems, only entire list of systems

    • Print the system table view page if you close the browser immediately after issuing a print request

Buttons are disabled if you do not have appropriate rights. However, the [Print] button appears for all users.
