TRAX Job Printer Manager

The Trax Job Printer Manager window allows users to view and manage all information related to Work Pack Print jobs that were generated through the external Report Server. Once a print is generated through the Work Pack Print window, the details for the print job, like the current progress, status, and technical information are displayed here. This window also allows users to print and email Work Pack Prints.

Note: This window works in conjunction with the Work Pack Print external report server. If the Report Server functionality is not being used in TRAX Version 11, then this window will not work. For more information on this Report Server functionality, refer to the Work Order Pack Print - Report Server via the Production Training Manual.

When selected, the window opens up as follows. Select a job at the bottom of the window to view more details in the top of the window.

This window is security-controlled via System Administration/ Update/ Trax Job Printer Manager. Further, only users with Supervisor Access will be allowed to view print jobs other than their own. This Supervisor Access is security controlled via System Administration/ Update/ Trax Job Printer Manager/ Supervisor Access. For additional information refer to the Security Explorer via the System Administration Training Manual.
