Here are some common questions and answers about LOGic's
reporting facility.
How do I incorporate my user-defined field into a
report?
To accomplish this, you need to use the TAG_VAL function. Here
is an example of the TAG_VAL function syntax:
TAG_VAL("CONT:",USERFIELDS)
Search LOGic's help for "tag_val" for more information.
How do I incorporate my user-defined field into
a multiple QSO report?
To incorporate a user-defined field into a multiple QSO report (QSL
cards, labels etc.) use the TAG_VAL function listed above. The data for the
first QSO is in USERFIELDS as usual. The data for the second QSO is in
USERFIELD2, the third is in USERFIELD3, etc. Using the example above, the syntax
for printing four QSOs would be:
TAG_VAL("CONT:",USERFIELDS)
TAG_VAL("CONT:",USERFIELD2)
TAG_VAL("CONT:",USERFIELD3)
TAG_VAL("CONT:",USERFIELD4)
Note that after the first QSO, the field name is USERFIELD2, not
USERFIELDS2. This is because the field name has a maximum length of 10
characters.

The left hand margin is getting cut off. How do I fix
this?
This is a common problem with inkjet printers that often do not
print as close to the edge of the page as laser printers or other printers.
All of LOGic's reports should fit on the specified size paper
without modifications. Check the options for your printer in the control
panel. Turn on "Scale To Fit" or other such feature to
automatically resize the printout. Once you find a setting that works, you
can save the printer setup with the individual report so it is set every time
you print that report. In LOGic, go to file/set up report. Select
the report. Click on the Report-Layout window so it is on top. Click
File/Page Setup/Print Setup, and set the options for your printer. We
recommend saving the report under a different name so you don't have to make the
changes again if we include the report in an update.
However, "Scale to Fit" this may cause the top margins
of labels to be off. If this is the case, you can adjust the left margin,
as well as the top margins, distance between copied of labels, etc. in the
Page Setup dialog described above.
