File Reports

This chapter describes how to set up templates for reports that will be output to a file. The content of the reports is defined in the same way as for screen reports, and the layout of the columns is also controlled in the same way, but there are additional options which control headers, footers and headings and other information which can be added to file reports.

Set Destination to File, and give a filename in the text box. The file will be stored in the directory AVEVA_DESIGN_USER/REPORTS.

You should also specify what will happen if the file exists. The options are:

• Append
  If the file exists, output will be appended to it.

• New
  If the file exists, you will be prompted to confirm that you want to overwrite the file.

• Overwrite
  If the file exists, it will be overwritten with no warning.
