A printed list is a report that is sent to the printer which uses the information specified in a configuration file and the data stored in a given project file. Printed lists consist of a page title, a heading section, which lists data common to the entire project such as the project name and the client's name, the table section, which lists selected sampling and testing data, and an optional footing section, which just includes a figure number chosen by the user.

The first step in creating a printed list is to create a list configuration file, which is a set of directions given to the software that determine what data to use when building the list.
