Problem

Users had no reliable way to export or print reports.

Reports contained large amounts of data, often with 20+ columns. When printed or exported, layouts broke, content was cut off, and results were hard to use.

This created friction in daily workflows and required manual workarounds.

Goal

Enable reliable report export and printing.

  • Support large datasets without breaking layouts.
  • Allow users to control how reports are formatted.
  • Standardize reporting across the product.

Core insight

Reports are used outside the product.

They need to be readable, flexible, and ready to share without additional formatting.

Decision + solution

We introduced a unified reporting and print system.

Users can preview reports before exporting.

They can control layout and formatting based on their needs.

  • Column visibility can be adjusted.
  • Text wrapping can be enabled or disabled.
  • Headers and structure can be customized.
  • All reports were aligned to a consistent format.

Product UI

Focused on control and predictability.

The preview allows users to adjust output before exporting, reducing errors and rework.

Outcome

Reliable export and printing across all reports.

  • Reduced manual formatting work.
  • Faster workflows for shops and accountants.
  • Consistent reporting experience.

Reflection

Flexibility improves usability.

By giving users control over output, we made reports usable in real-world scenarios.
