The Quick Reports form lets you create reports with basic formatting.
To open the Quick Reports form select Utilities > Standard Reporting > Quick Reports from the main menu.
The Quick Reports form allows you to quickly generate reports, however the report template cannot be saved.
The options on the form are as follows:
|
File |
Enter a filename for the output report. If you just want to see the report on the screen, leave the File text box blank. |
|
Term |
Check the Term box to ignore any filename specified and only output to screen. |
|
Types |
Enter an Element type for example: bran mem VALVE gask flan If the Type text box is left blank ALL TYPES will be reported on. |
|
With |
This option is a way of narrowing down the report. Enter an expression, for example: abore gt 30 tpos[3] le 1000 abore gt 30 AND name of owner neq ‘/B-1-2’ |
|
Columns |
These are the attributes to be output in the report. The attributes you specify will be used as headings to the columns. For example: name owner hpos tpos You can enter expressions, enclosed in round brackets. The following example outputs the type, name, and the first three characters of the owner's name: type name (substr(name of owner, 1, 3)) |
|
Hierarchy |
Enter the element or elements at the top of the hierarchy that you want to report on. Because you can give a list of elements, you must enter the slash character before each name, except for WORLD. For example: World /* /200-B-4 /250-B-5 |
|
Apply |
Click this option and the report will be generated. |
Note: When you press the Dismiss option, the contents of the form are kept. Everything you entered will be shown on the form when it is displayed again.
