Configuring Export Report Delegates
Objective
Configure the delegates for the export associative report feature to display custom output.
Problem Statement
You want to export custom types of reports and add custom columns in reports.
Background
A manufacturing engineer may want to generate associative reports from the upstream and downstream structures. This report can include equivalence or occurrence information for the respective structure. This information is useful to identify broken, out-of-date links between usages and occurrences.
You can customize the reporting feature to generate custom types of reports and also add new columns in reports.
Scope, Applicability, or Assumptions
In most cases, you need to write some code to achieve your business use case for adding new report types or providing custom implementation for existing types.
Intended Outcome
• The Report Types list in the Export Associative BOM Report window displays the report type that you added.
• The exported report shows the columns that you added.
