Chapter 4 Using the Report Editor

Creating a report section

You create a section in order to add a model to a multi-model report or to divide a single model report.

To create a section in a model or multi-model report:

1. Open the report in the Report Editor, select Report→Report Properties to open the report property sheet, and click the Sections tab. The list of report sections contains a section by default.
   
2. Click the Add a Row tool to create a new section, and type the name that you want to see appear on the section tab in the name column.
3. [multi-model report only] In the Model column, select a model from the list of models open in the workspace. The type column changes to reflect the model type chosen.
4. [optional] In the Template column, select a standard template from the list. You can choose between:
   
   
   • None [default] – creates an empty section.
   • Full <Model Type> Report – provides lists of all the types of objects in the model, together with detailed information on each object.
   • List <Model Type> Report – provides lists of all the types of objects in the model.
   • Standard <Model Type> Report – provides lists of all the types of objects in the model, together with detailed information on each of the main objects.
     
5. Click OK to close the report property sheet and return to the Report Editor. The tab for the new section is available at the bottom of the Report Items pane.
6. Click the section tab to view the new section. The section will either be empty or, if you have selected a template, will contain the report items specified by the template:
