The 'Incident Commander Pro' software
provide a number of ways to create reports and share information. In addition to
creating hard copy printed reports information may also be exported to text
files (.txt), Excel spreadsheets (.xls), database files (.dbf) and printed
as PDF documents. These
electronic data formats make it easy to share 'Incident Commander Pro'
information with other applications.
A convenient new way to share this
information is to print reports directly to a Microsoft XPS (XML Paper
Specification) file.
This creates output to an XPS file that is an exact, formatted copy of the
original report form. These .xps files may be printed immediately from the 'Incident Commander Pro' Print
menu, viewed directly in Internet Explorer and saved as a convenient form of data backup or for sharing with other applications.
To create these reports the Microsoft
XPS print driver (document viewer) must first be installed on the computer. This
free print driver may be
downloaded from Microsoft
XPS Document Viewer. Once
installed the XPS printer driver appears in the Print Setup
menu.
