Standard Reporting Reference Manual

Creating and Running a Simple Report : More Column Layout Options : Text Display

You can specify the characters used to specify Unset text, which enables you to specify some text to be output for an attribute which does not exist for an element, for example DESC on a CYLI element.

Headings

For reports without sorting or totalling Headings will normally be On. For example of switching Headings off, see Sorting and Totalling. The Page option is only used for file reports. For more information, see File Reports .

Heading Text

The Heading Text can be set to:

•

Expression Text

which will use the expression entered in the Expression text box on the Creating Column form. For example, CLLE for the centre line length.

•

Default

which will use the full AVEVA E3D™ attribute name if possible. For example, if you enter CLLE in the Expression text box, the column heading will be CENTRE LINE LENGTH.

•

Custom

in which case you should enter the text required in the text box. You can insert several lines of text. The Centre Line Length template, which has the heading split over two lines, is an example.

Values

For reports without sorting or totalling Values will normally be On. For examples of the other options see Sorting and Totalling.

Subtotals and Totals

Totals can only be produced for columns containing numeric data, and which do not have the Subtotal option set. For more information, see Sorting and Totalling.
