Printing a Report
You can print a report for the active file to a printer.
1. Do one of the following to open the Select Report to Print window:
◦ Select File > Print.
◦ On the standard toolbar, click Print.
The Select Report to Print window opens, listing the reports for active modules in a tree view. You can click the - (minus) sign or + (plus) sign to the left of the heading to switch between hiding and showing the reports under this heading.
For a System file, both Report Design and Report Binder files are listed.
For a Report Binder file, the module type for the top report determines the heading under which it is listed. If a Report Binder file does not yet contain a top report, it is listed before the first module heading.
2. Select the report you want to print. You can either generate the report as it is defined or modify its parameters to customize it.
◦ If you want to generate the defined report, click OK.
◦ If you want to generate a customized report, select the Override report properties checkbox and click OK.
If any parameter selections are required at runtime, or if you selected the Override report properties checkbox, the Report Properties window opens so you can supply parameters. For more information, see Report Properties. When finished, click OK.
When the Generating Report window opens, it displays status information as the report is generated. Clicking Cancel stops report generation. If an issue exists with generating the report, a window opens, indicating the problem encountered.
3. When the Print window opens, select the appropriate options and click OK.
If the Report Design file for a report has design issues, such as containing data fields from unrelated tables, the window that opens during report generation indicates the problem encountered. For example, if you insert fields from both the Mission Reliability Results table and the Prediction Parts tables, the error message indicates that the data in these tables cannot be merged together in one report. You can modify the existing Report Design file to include fields from only one of the tables listed. Or, you can create separate Report Design files for each of these tables and then create a Report Binder file from which to generate both reports. For more information, see Using Report Binder Files to Generate Multiple Reports.
