A **Print to** field will be displayed when **Show buttons** is set to **None** and **Show in form** is set to **Yes**.

Here is a screenshot of the **Posting invoice** dialog print form as an example. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-M8TYYSOA.png) |

## Auto-Add rules

With an Auto-add rule, you can control when and to which FO dialog buttons should be added, what their names should be, etc. You can control buttons directly on the print form as either buttons or a list view, as well as on an FO journal and in the Lasernet Archive.

## Report Group

Report groups are used to link Print buttons to reports. For example, you might have a print button that should only be displayed for Sales reports. Therefore, you could create a Report group for Sales reports and then link that Report group to the Print button. This functionality should not be confused with Report groups used in the **Lasernet** module - more information about those report groups can be found [here](/v1/docs/report-group-fo-connector-user-guide).

In the following example, a Report group has been created for the **Sales confirmation** report and the **Sales invoice** report:
