Batches are used to print multiple reports with just one click of the mouse. Batches can be printed from the Batches option in the Reports menu. To create a batch, you first need to create batch codes with a description. After the code has been created you add the batch code to all reports that should be printed in that batch.
Choose Batch codes from the Setup ยป Reports menu.
