Chapter 7 Reports

Creating a Multi-Model Report

A multi-model report is a report that documents one or more models. To create such a report, you must have at least one model open in the workspace. You can add additional models at any time after the creation of your report.

To create a multi-model report:

Select File→New to open the New dialog box:

Select Multi-Model Report in the left-hand pane (this option is only available if you have a model open in the workspace).

Enter a name for the report in the Report Name field.

Select a language for the report from the Language list.

Select a model as the basis for the first section of the report from the Model Name list.

[optional] Select a template (see Creating a report with a standard template) from the Report Template list.

Template languages
When you use a template in a language different from the one specified for the report, only user-defined items such as Title or Text paragraph will retain the language of the template. Other items will be displayed in the report language.

Click OK to create the multi-model report.

The report opens in the Report Editor, and is added to the Browser:

Select File→Save to save your report.

Quick multi-model report generation from the Browser
If you want to quickly generate a multi-model report from an existing one without modifying it, right-click a multi-model report node in the Browser and select Print or Generate→RTF or Generate→HTML.
