Creo Parametric dynamic report tables are based on the principle of "smart" table cells called repeat regions. Repeat regions are user-designated sections of a table that expand or contract to accommodate the amount of data that the associated model currently possesses.

The information they contain is determined by text-based report symbols, entered as text into each cell within the region. For example, if you have an assembly drawing with 20 parts, and you type asm.mbr.name into a cell in a repeat region, the table will expand to add one cell for each part name when you update the table.

Below is a very simple example of a table showing the parameters for a bill of materials. The top row is normal text entered into normal table cells. The bottom row contains report symbols, entered as text into a row of cells that has been designated as a repeat region.

The resulting updated report table might look like this:

You can enter report tables in any file type that supports them; such as drawings, diagrams, or report files. They function the same way in each.
