Removing Table Name from printed page

So I've got tables with child records, and occasionally we need to print them for the installers in the field. I made a print button on the form to expedite that process, what I'd like to do is remove the header at the top. For example:

the table is called "loose ends"

the record I'm looking at is called "Smith, John"

At the top of the screen under the button bar it shows "Loose Ends > Smith, John"

when I print this page, it puts "Smith, John" at the top of the page. In reality, that information is not necessary and actually causes some issues because we're tracking a different piece of information for the installers. I'd like to either remove that entirely, or choose what goes there so that I can limit opportunities for confusion. I can't seem to edit that spot though... any ideas?

  • Chris, the low tech solution would be to remove the heading all together.  The Advanced Properties for the table controls the record identifier.  So either create a formula text field which is a better identifier or else make a formula field that is blank and use that as the record identifier.
