Columns

Now create three columns for the report, to display the name of the Nozzle, the arrive bore and the position, using the Columns options

Select the New option button, and the Creating Column form will be displayed.

The Expression text box defines the contents of the column. You can enter an AVEVA E3D Design attribute or pseudo-attribute here, or an expression containing attributes or pseudo-attributes.

Ignore the Sorting and Precedence option for now. By default, the list of items in the report will be sorted in the order in which they are stored in the database.

You can set the Units option when appropriate.

The Column Layout button is used to control the format of each column, but we will use the default layout for now.

Fill in the form as follows:

1. For the first column, enter NAME in the Expression text box.

2. This is all you need to set for the first column: do not press OK yet, but select Next Column. The settings on the Creating Column form will be cleared ready for you to define the second column.

3. The second column will display the arrive bore of the Nozzles. Type P1 BORE into the Expression text box. Select Units of Any/mm.

4. Select Next Column again and define the third column, which will display the coordinates of the Nozzle, by entering POS into the Expression text box. Units should be set to Pos(mm).

Now select OK on the Creating Column form. Note that the three columns you have defined are shown in the scrolling list on the New Report Template form.
