In addition to Standard and Custom, clients also support a Client linked resource report. This generates a Standard report for a specific resource linked to the client (such as a food record, meal plan, or 24-hour recall).
To create a custom report template
You can create a custom resource report, as defined in your Workspace settings. Your custom report allows you to set your own choice of report settings.
You can also set report styling at the workspace level, so all your reports reflect the same styling.
- Open Workspace settings.
- Select the Reports tab.
- Select the resource type — choose between food, recipe, meal plan, food record, client, or 24-hour recall.
- Select the report sections — select the sections you wish to include in your custom reports for the selected resource type.
- Apply the workspace report styling — apply your brand colour and choose to display your organisation logo (as set in Organisation settings), the date, and page numbers.
Your custom report will be saved automatically. To use this report type, select Custom when generating the report on the resource.
Note for mobile and tablet users
If you're using Foodworks on a tablet or mobile device, report generation may not work correctly due to operating system differences.
We recommend generating and printing reports from a laptop or desktop computer for the best results.

I can’t seem to print from my iPad. Nowhere on the document is there an icon to click to print it.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thank you.
Hi Nathan,

I've tried to print my recipe but i can only see a pdf and open icon. I've also kept clicking the open icon but still I cannot open the print page. I might be thinking there could be an error in my system.
Thank you.
Hi Sachi,
Thanks for your comment.
When you open the Print report modal, you can select to print by clicking the printer icon, circled below in blue.
This will open up a print dialogue where you can choose to either print to PDF or your connected printer.
I have created a support ticket to liaise with you further. Would you like to continue this discussion in the support ticket.
Kindly,

I dont have a print option either for iPad . So frustrating!!
Hi Victoria,
Thanks for your comment.
When using Foodworks.online on your iPad the operating system can appear different to a desktop or laptop computer. We recommend using Foodworks.online on a computer for this reason.
Are you able to see an ellipsis menu to select Share from?

Hi! The print option doesn't want to work for me either. I'm on a laptop and nothing shows up when I click open.
