Re: Print button, Incident, mid-tier - no out-of-box functionality?
I created a Remedy report and changed the workflow to call that report instead of the crystal report when it's being run from the web. That way the client will still print the crystal report and the web willl be able to print something.

Re: Print button, Incident, mid-tier - no out-of-box functionality?
I put together a Remedy report that pulls in some of the important data and replaced the workflow of the Print button for that. I agree that it's not good that BMC has overlooked print functionality, but it isn't terribly difficult to solve if you are ok making a minor customization. Another option I've considered would be to create a JSP/ASP/PHP/whatever page that you can pass the Incident or Change ID to be able to pull in tasks, approvals, etc. and not require Crystal Reports. However, it hasn't really been needed in my current organization because we go to Business Objects (for BMC Analytics) when we need more detailed reports.

Re: Print button, Incident, mid-tier - no out-of-box functionality?
thanks for confirmation and suggestions, folks! One other quick question because we haven't, to date, ever added any AR reports to system.. is there a standard location where these should be placed so they can be referenced by workflow?

Add it to the report form. Just search for report and you'll find it.
