Chapter 4 Managing a Report

Creating a section based on a template

You can create a section based on a template.

You can keep the template default values or use them as a basis for further modifications of the section.

To create a section based on a template:

1. Select Report→Report Properties from the Report Editor window and click the Sections tab.
   
   The list of report sections is displayed.
2. Click a blank line and type a section name.
   
   If you do not type a section name, the section tab is displayed with a default name in the Report Items pane that you can modify afterwards.
3. (Optional for the multi-model report only) Click the Model column and select a model from the list.
   
   The section is of the same type as the selected model.
   
   
      Model selection
   For a model report, the Model column displays by default the current model.
   For a multi-model report, the Model column displays the alphabetical list of all the models referenced in the workspace.
   
   
4. Click the Template column and select a template from the list. The templates corresponding to the type of the model you selected are listed. The Apply Template check box is automatically selected.
   
5. Click OK.
   
   The Report Editor window is displayed. The section you created is displayed as a tab at the bottom of the Report Items pane.
6. Click the section tab.
   
   The Report Items pane is filled with the template you have selected.
