Creating Report Template

Report templates (*.hxrt files) allow the user to easily create reports containing predefined columns and initial settings. The following steps describe the most common way of creating a report template. It is, however, also possible to create a report template from an existing report (just go to step 9 described below). The report settings, columns settings, and translation editor settings are saved into the report template.

  1. Select a Reports node in the Project structure tab and click the [Add] button (or use the Add popup menu item).

    The New report wizard is opened.
  2. In the Name field of the first step, enter the name for the new report.
  3. Note:

    Leave the Open report after creation check box activated so that an empty report will be opened after the wizard is finished.

  4. Click [Next].

    The Report template step of the New report wizard is opened.
  5. Select the Default settings option and click [Next].

    Note:

    Using the Based on template option you can create a template by modifying an existing one.

    The Report configuration step of the New report wizard is opened.
  6. Select the desired report type and click [Next].

    The Wire harness step of the New report wizard is opened.
  7. Select the desired wire harnesses and click [Next].

    The Electrical configuration step of the New report wizard is opened.
  8. Do not make any changes to the default settings, just click [Finish].

    A new empty report is displayed.
  9. Determine the desired report settings in the report-specific tab (active columns, their order, etc.).
  10. Select the File > Save as template menu items.
  11. Note:

    The report environment must be active for this.

  12. In the Save as dialog enter a name for the report template.
  13. If you do not want to use the currently created report (the source for the template) anymore, close it and delete it from the Project structure tab.
