Web Screens reports were generated in preview automatically in the same browser tab. After installing PU2, by default, the Export Report screen will be loaded into a new tab in your browser for the user to select the export format for the report and the export file will be generated in the user's Downloads folder. To print a hard copy of the report, export your report to PDF first, then print it to a printer from the PDF.
