Creating New Report

This function allows for creating a new report. To create a new report, you must first open or create a project and have a workspace / workdesk from which to derive the report.

  1. Click on the Reports node in the Project structure tab.

    Or select the File > Create report menu items or the button from an opened workspace / workdesk document. In this case, skip the second step.
  2. Select the Add popup menu item or click the [Add] button in the Project structure tab.

    The New report wizard is opened.
  3. In the Name field of the first step, enter the name for the new report.
  4. If you want the report to be opened right after you finish the wizard, activate the Open report after creation check box.
  5. Click [Next].

    The Report template step of the New report wizard is opened.
  6. Select the Default settings option if the report is to be created from scratch.

    Or select the Based on template option if the settings are to be taken from a template file. In this case use the [...] button to open a file selection dialog and browse for a report template file (*.hxrt extension).
  7. Click [Next].

    The Report configuration step of the New report wizard is opened.
  8. Select the desired report type. The following types are available:

  9. Note:

    This step is skipped if the report is being created on the basis of a template because a template determines the report type.

  10. Click [Next].

    The Wire harness step of the New report wizard is opened to select wire harnesses / cable units.

    The Selected variant field displays the currently selected project variant.
  11. Note:

    If cable units or wire harnesses reports are being created, the report wizard branches directly to the last step to finish the report.

  12. Select the wire harnesses for which the report is to be generated.
  13. If you started the New report wizard from an opened workdesk / workspace document, the All wire harnesses check box is automatically activated and all available wire harnesses are automatically preselected. Otherwise select / deselect the desired wire harnesses.
  14. Note:

    In this case, only the opened workspace / workdesk document is the source file for the report. You can not select wire harnesses from a different document.

  15. If you started the New report wizard from the Reports node in the Project structure tab, the All wire harnesses check box is deactivated. Here, all available wire harnesses from all workspace / workdesk documents containing a wire harness can be selected as the source for the report.
  16. Click [Next].

    The Electrical configuration step of the New report wizard is opened.

    If you started the New report wizard from an opened workdesk / workspace document, the report is derived from the current electrical configuration and this step is skipped.
  17. If you started the New report wizard from the Reports node in the Project structure tab, select the configuration to derive the report from. If you select the Not specified option in this step, no electrical option is used.
  18. Click [Finish].

    The report is generated.
