Hi Team,

Is it possible to include the printed time on the report document? appreciate your guidance on how to accomplish this.

Is there a way to track the print button events??

Hi Bibin,

I didn't try it before, but maybe see if this link can help:

Also, I saw this expression online, not sure if it will work though:
="Printed Time: " & Format(Globals!ExecutionTime, "HH:mm:ss")

Please let us know if any of those were helpful.

Thanks,
Layan Jweihan

You can include the time when the reported was generated. Note that it can be sent to printer later and the time of sending to printer (and also the time of the actual printing) may be different.

For example, you generate a PDF for a preview on screen, but send it to a physical printer a few minutes later, where it may be waiting for some time before the printer becomes available. Printing the document on a physical printer doesn't change its contents.

Hi Bibin,

I agree with Martin. There is no point in looking for print button events because the report will be generated before printing, and you cannot change the values in the report after its generated.

Thanks,
