Selecting objects to include in the report

By default, the report includes all the objects in your model. You can restrict the objects included by making a selection, which is saved with the report.

To select objects for a report:

Select Report→Select Objects from the Report Editor to open the Report Object Selection dialog box. All the objects (except any external shortcuts) are selected by default.

Select a report section from the Section list (see Report property sheet Sections tab).

[optional] Select a package from the package list.

Select the objects that you want to include in the report from each of the object-specific sub-tabs.

[optional] Specify a name for your selection in the Selection list and click the Save tool beside the list. The selection is saved as part of the model file (or in the .mmr file for a multi-model report).

Click OK to confirm your selection and return to the Report Editor.

For information about the tools in this dialog, see "Adding an item from a selection list" in the Objects chapter.
