Report Formats

Reporting User Guide

Overview : Report Formats

The Reporting supports two report file formats.

Layout Templates - Reportname.repx

These report files contain formatting, graphics and presentation. They contain no data source and cannot be run. These report files may be used to distribute a common look and feel for use in reports across a company and/or project.

Reports - Reportname.repv

These report files may contain formatting, graphics and presentation, and may have been created from a Layout Template. However, in addition to layout, they also contain a data source, and can be run. A .repv file may be saved as (File > Save As) a .repx file. For example the user may want to save the formatting and layout of a report (.repv) but discard its data source. Choosing this option displays a warning that the data source will be lost.

Reports contain a data source and are independent of user or project settings. Reports may be shared across projects, as long as each project has the same element and attribute structures defined in the report’s data source.

Refer to Create a New Report and Save a Report for details.
