“Troubleshooting” for a workaround to this issue)
• 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 specific selections, you can print the entire list only
• Print the 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.

view page and select Apply to all event table views, those columns become the default set of columns
that are displayed for any event collection selected if that collection does not already have customized
columns defined.
