Create Activity
|
To create activities in the Calendar/Activities application when you generate the report, select this check box. When you generate the report,
Vision displays the Activities dialog box so you can enter the activity information.
Vision then creates an activity for each contact included on the report.
Use this feature to create a record that an activity related to the report has taken place for the
clients, contacts, opportunities, or
projects included on the report.
For example, if you print a list report for contacts or
clients to send to a mailing service that will send out holiday greetings from your company, you can select this option to create an activity for each recipient. The following year, you can use those activity records to generate a list of the previous recipients as a starting point for the current holiday mailing.

Mailing
|
Vision prints labels using the address that is designated as each contact's mailing address on the General tab of the Contact Info Center:
- Business address
- Home address or other address
|
Business
|
Vision prints labels using each contact's business address.
|
Other/Home
|
Vision prints labels using each contact's other address or home address.
|
Contact Type
|
Use these options to indicate if you want to run the report for
client contacts,
vendor contacts, or both.
|
Type
|
Specify which of the following types of labels you are printing addresses on:
- Avery 5160 (three labels across on a standard 8.5" x 11" page)
- Avery 5161 (two labels across on a standard 8.5" x 11" page)
- Avery L7163 (two labels across on a standard 8.26" x 11.69" A4 page)
- User-defined (any other label format)
When you select a type of label,
Vision sets the other options in the
Print Setup section to default measurements.
If you select one of the standard types of labels, print a test page to check the alignment of the information on the labels. If the alignment is not correct, change the default measurements.
If you select
User-defined, take the required measurements from a sheet of labels and enter them in the
Print Setup section.
If you make any changes to the default settings or if you enter settings for a user-defined label, save the new measurements as a set of saved options or as a favorite, so you do not have to adjust the alignment the next time you print labels.

Font Name
|
Select the font for the mailing labels.
The font that prefills in this field is the default font that you selected on the Reporting tab of the User Options dialog box.
|

Select the font size (type size) for the mailing labels.
|
Contact Name

Select this check box to print the contact name on the labels.
|

|
Client/Vendor Name
|
Select the
Client/Vendor Name check box if you want the name of the
client or
vendor associated with the contact included as part of the contact’s mailing address.
In some cases, companies that convert to
Vision from other systems have the
client or
vendor name in the
Address 1 field in the contact address. If
Address 1 for a contact contains the
client or
vendor name and that name exactly matches the name in the
client or
vendor record associated with that contact,
Vision automatically adjusts for that special case. If you select
Client/Vendor Name, the
client or
vendor name is printed only once, and if you do not select
Client/Vendor Name, the
client or
vendor name is not printed.
Be aware, however, that if
Address 1 contains the
client or
vendor name but that name does not exactly match the name in the
client or
vendor record,
Address 1 is always printed. As a result, if you do not select
Client/Vendor Name, the label will still include the
client or
vendor name from
Address 1, and if you do select
Client/Vendor Name, it will include it twice, once from the
client or
vendor record and once from
Address 1.
The
Client/Vendor Name check box only applies to labels printed for contacts that are associated with a
client or
vendor record in
Vision. For contacts that are not associated with a
client or
vendor, the address is always printed exactly as it is entered in the Contacts Info Center.
