Standard Reporting Reference Manual
Introduction to Reports : Sample Report Templates
Sample Report Templates
You produce a report by running a report template. The template specifies what the report will contain, whether it will be sent to the screen or a file and how it will be laid out. Templates also specify what information can be specified at the time the report is run, for example, what part of the database, or the output filename.
There is a library of example reports supplied with the product in the directory %PMLUI%/REPORTS. Under this directory is a TEMPLATES directory, which contains the templates which generated the reports. The templates are AVEVA E3D™ macros, but the best way to see how they are set up is to select Utilities > Standard Reporting > Reports > Modify from the main menu, and look at the settings on the forms displayed.
Templates have the file extension .tmp, and the corresponding reports have a file extension .rep.
Most of the examples are based on the sample project and the sample templates supplied with the product.
The sample templates produce the following types of report:
