Adding items to a report

Chapter 7 Reports

Adding items to a report

You can add an item to the Report Items pane in any of the following ways:

Double-click the item in the Available Items pane to place it below the currently selected item in the Report Items pane
Drag the item from the Available Items pane and drop it at the desired position in the Report Items pane. Use the ctrl or shift key to select multiple items.If the pointer becomes a barred circle, that means the drop target is unauthorized. Note that you can drag and drop an item only when the Report Items pane already contains at least one item.
Right-click the item in the Available Items pane and select Add from the contextual menu

When you add an item to the Report Items pane, the item remains in the Available Items pane. You can insert the same item several times in the same report contents.

Notes:

Package and composite object hierarchy - When you add a package or composite object book item to a report, you can select the Hierarchical Display command in the item contextual menu to display the package or composite object hierarchy in the generated report. You do not need to use this command when you generate for an HTML report, as HTML reports always provide a hierarchical display.
Drag and drop between reports - You can drag and drop items between reports of the same type. If you simply drag and drop an item from one report to another without pressing any key, you move the item from one report to another. You can copy an item by pressing the ctrl key while dragging and dropping it. The report in which you want to drop the item must already contain at least one item.

Hyperlinks for object cards in HTML report
When you generate an HTML report that contains a diagram graphic and the object cards of the symbols, hyperlinks are created between the diagram symbols and the corresponding object cards. You can click a symbol in the diagram to access the object card that corresponds to it in the HTML page.
