Note: the following feature is only available in version 1.2 (or later) of Logframer
To open the Reports Print Preview window, click on the button in the General toolbar. Alternatively, you can use the Main menu, by clicking on File → Print preview…
Using the various tab pages of this window, you can get a print preview of the following reports:
To get the report you want directly when you open the print preview window, simply click into its related area. For instance, if you want to print your logical framework, you click on one of the cells, and then on the button. For other reports, you must make sure that the Details section is visible by clicking on the button in the Lay-out toolbar. Then click in the Detail window in the bottom of your screen and finally on the Print preview button.
On the left side, you can see the Print Settings Bar. On the right you can find the actual print preview of the report that you selected. Use the Navigation bar above the print preview to view the different pages, either by using the arrows or entering the number of the page you want to see in the text area.
Use the zoom option to get a closer look at the page, or to see two pages at once. If you click on the magnifying glass, the document will be scaled to actual size (100%). When you click the magnifying glass again, you will get a view of the complete page again. If you press on the down arrow next to the magnifying glass, you will get a list of zoom options:
When you open the Reports Print Preview window, or change any of the print options, it can take a while before the report is completed. In that case, you will see a progress bar in the left bottom corner:
The following pages describe printing in version 1.2 and higher. For information on printing in Logframer versions 1.0 and 1.1, you can follow this link.
For each report, you can set its page settings including the orientation of the page, the page margins and its header and footer, using the Print Settings Bar on the left side of the Reports Print Preview window.
On top of the Print Settings Bar you will immediately spot the big Print button. Press it, and the selected report will roll out of your printer. Underneath the Print button, you can change a number of settings:
You will find these print and page settings options for each individual report. Underneath these basic options you will see report specific options that enable you to change the appearance of that particular report. We will show and explain these options on the corresponding help pages.
Note: for users of Logframer versions 1.0 and 1.1, the Print Settings Bar replaces the Page set-up window.
For each report, you can set page headers and footers. To do so, press the Headers... or Footers... button in the Print Settings Bar.
There are three text areas: on the left, the centre and on the right side of the page. If you use all three areas, Logframer will divide the available space between the three areas. If you use only the left and right area, both will get half of the page at their disposal. If you use only one area, it will have the whole page width at its disposal.
You can use all text options that are also available for the logical framework itself (bold, italics, text colour...)
To insert page numbers and/or the total number of pages, you can use the buttons on the right of the toolbar. Simply click with the text cursor on the place where you want to insert the page number, and then click on the Page number button.
A placeholder text will appear {&Page} that will be replaced by the actual page number in the preview or printed document. You can format this placeholder like you would any other text.
If you want the exact same header or footer on all your documents, you can check the Copy this header to all reports option (or Copy this footer to all reports option) on the bottom left of the dialog. When you press the OK button, all other reports get the same outlook.
If you select the Logframe tab of the Reports print preview window or you've selected one of the cells of the logical framework before opening this window, you will get the following preview:
Underneath the usual settings of the Print Settings Bar, you can choose which columns you want to include in your document. This way, you can create different versions of your logframe at the touch of a button, without having to create different versions of the same document as you would in a text editor or a spreadsheet application. For instance, you could print an overview of the risks and assumptions for each objective, without showing the indicators or verification sources:
If you select the Indicators list tab of the Reports print preview window or you've clicked in one of the cells of the Indicator details window before opening this window, you will get the following preview:
Underneath the usual settings of the Print Settings Bar, you can set different options to select what information you want to include in this report.
You can select:
Below you can see an example of a list of indicators without value ranges or targets:
The Performance Measurement Framework is tool used for Results Based Management. It is a table that presents an overview about:
If you select the Performance Measurement Framework tab of the Reports print preview window or you've clicked in one of the cells of the Verification sources details window before opening this window, you will get the following preview:
The only option for the PMF table is which indicators you want to include:
Note: the following feature is only available in version 1.2 (or later) of Logframer
The resources table gives you an overview of all the resources that are used for each activity. Basically, it is a print-out of the Resources Detail window.
The table of resources is not the same as the budget of the project. In Logframer you can detail costs for each activity, but some of these may overlap between activities. This means that it is not possible to make a correct total for the whole of your project.
If you select the Risk register tab of the Reports print preview window or you've clicked in one of the cells of the Assumptions details window before opening this window, you will get the following preview:
You can select different categories of risks:
You can open the Planning print preview in two ways. You can either use the Print preview button in the General toolbar, or open the Planning window first and then use its Print preview button.
The Planning print preview uses the settings of the Planning window, so if you looked at the day-to-day planning in that window you will also get the day-to-day planning in the print preview. This is important to remember, because if you've selected a long period of time in day-to-day mode and then open the print preview, it may take a (very) long time to complete the preview. In that case you better select a monthly overview of the planning, open the print preview window, then select a shorter period of time and finally select 'View: days'.
As in the Planning window, you can select which activities you want to see (using the Select drop-down list). You can choose to see both key moments and activities or activities only. You can also show or hide the links between key moments and activities.
With the Repeat row headers check box, you can choose whether you want the row headers with the names of the activities to be printed on each individual page. If you deselect this option, the row headers will only be printed on the first page. On the following pages, you will only see the number of each activity, but not its text:
To get a detailed view of a certain period, you can set the starting date and the end date.
If you select the Partner organisations tab of the Reports print preview window, you will get the following preview:
You can select of which partner you want to print the details, or you can choose to print all partners' information at once.
You can change the appearance of the table using the two check boxes at the bottom. You can:
If you select the Target group ID form tab of the Reports print preview window or you've clicked in one of the cells of the Target Groups details window before opening this window, you will get the following preview:
You can select the target group for which you want to print the form. You'd probably want to select just one target group at a time, so you can make many copies of the form and use them in the field. But you can also print all the different forms one after the other in a single document.
You can change the appearance of the table using the two check boxes at the bottom. You can:
