About add-ins and templates

The AVEVA Historian Client Report is an "add-in" to Microsoft Word. An add-in is a supplemental program that runs within the Microsoft Word application and provides custom features and specialized commands.

If the AVEVA Historian Client Report add-in is installed, an additional menu called Historian is added to Microsoft Word.

After the add-in is loaded, the Historian menu contains all of the commands you use to create a report document or report template using data from an AVEVA Historian or a normal SQL Server database.

Note: You can manually load/unload the AVEVA Historian Client Report Word add-in. For more information, see Manually Load and unload the Word add-In.

The AVEVA Historian Client Report default template, HistClient.dot or HistClient.dotm, is a blank template to use as the starting point for any report documents or additional templates that you want to create.
