How to Use the "Print Marker" in the "Borrowers" Table

The "print marker" feature allows you to select a specific set of records at random. This enables you to focus exclusively on this chosen group of records for further actions. For example, you can include these records in a report, print labels specifically for this group, or even delete the selected records. This functionality is extremely useful when you need to narrow your focus to a specific dataset for further analysis or processing.

If you want to process particular records from a database, you can utilize the "print marker" feature.
