Out-Of-The-Box Lasernet Replacement Reports

If you are using the Formpipe default configuration, fourteen Lasernet replacement reports will be available to use in your Lasernet FO Connector configuration.

For easy identification, the Lasernet replacement report names are based on the SSRS report names.

Create Lasernet Replacement Reports That Are Not Included Out-Of-The-Box

Although fourteen out-of-the-box Lasernet replacement reports are available, Lasernet replacement reports can also be created for other SSRS reports.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Print the SSRS report to screen.

2. Click the Setup for Lasernet button.

This will create a new record in the Lasernet reports list.
