## Reporting Toolbar

Reporting toolbar

The Report window's Reporting toolbar performs these functions:

Icon | Description
| Selecting the Redraw the Report icon redraws and updates the report with newly added changes. If you modify the current report template, label template, or custom report, or your part program changes, click this icon to have your report redrawn and updated to use the newly modified template or new program data.
| Selecting the Template Selection icon displays a dialog box that allows you to manage your templates and select a template from which to generate your report output. See "Applying or Removing a Report Template"
| Selecting the Custom Report Selection icon displays a dialog box that allows you to choose what custom report to display. See "Creating Custom Reports".
| Selecting the Print Report icon prints the report to your defined output. See the Set Print Options icon below to define the output format.
| Selecting this icon sets the currently used template as the new default template for your current part program. PC-DMIS will automatically use the defined default report template whenever you open your part program at a later date. Initially, this default report is set to TEXTONLY.RTP.

The drop down menu next to this icon lets you set a default report without having to load it first. It displays all the saved report layouts. Simply select an item from this list. PC-DMIS places the check mark next to it to indicate it as the new default report. The current loaded report is indicated by a boldface font.

For example, in the above image, the check mark indicates TextOnly.rtp as the default report and CADOnly.rtp as the currently loaded report.

If you select No default report then nothing will appear in your report window the next time you load the part program and access the Report window.

Setting a Default Report for All Part Programs:

If you want to set a default report for all part programs, use the PC-DMIS Settings Editor, access the FileMan section, and set the DefaultReportTemplate registry entry to the name of the report template you want to use. See the Modifying Registry Entries appendix.

| Selecting the Add Template to Toolbar icon, saves the current report template or custom report as a stored report. A new stored report icon will appear on the toolbar with the same name as your template or custom report to the right of the standard report icons. When you click the added icon, the Report window automatically uses the saved template or custom report to display your report.
| Selecting the View Report Mode icon generates the report from the first command to the last command in the part program, regardless of how PC-DMIS last executed the program.
| Selecting the Last Execution Report Mode icon will show only those items executed in the most recent part program execution. It also shows the commands in the same order in which they were executed. If commands were executed multiple times due to a loop, it would show those multiple executions as well.

The SaveExecuteList registry entry in the Reporting section of the PC-DMIS Settings Editor determines whether or not this information is retained when you later re-open your part program. By default, this functionality is enabled. If set to 1, PC-DMIS stores the items reported during your last execution within your part program so you can easily view them later by selecting the Last Execution Report Mode icon.

- If set to 0, PC-DMIS only stores the information temporarily. If you close your part program, PC-DMIS clears out this information.

Partial Executions and Last Execution Report Mode

If you perform partial executions, PC-DMIS will append the reported items to the execute list, potentially causing items to be reported that you don't need reported. You can clear out any partially executed items from the stored execute list by performing a full execution.

| Selecting the View Last Saved Report icon restores the saved report data to what it was at the time it was last locked. This includes the execute list, temporary modifications made, and the mode that was last used (either Report Mode or Last Execution Report Mode).
| Selecting an item from this drop down list sets the report's magnification in the Report window. The zoom level doesn't affect how the report prints out, but you may find these options helpful when previewing the report or determining what template to use.

- For small percentages, the pages are laid out side by side horizontally first and then vertically. You can also type in a specific magnification. Using a small percentage makes it easier to rearrange pages. See "Rearranging Report Pages".

- For large percentages, where you are zoomed in on one portion of the report, you can easily pan the report by either using the scroll bars or by holding CTRL and dragging on the main page of the report (dragging on a label will move that label). PC-DMIS drags the image in the direction that you pull the mouse.

| Selecting the Lock the Report icon locks the Report window so that modifications can't be made to any reports in the window. In addition, PC-DMIS saves any temporary modifications you made, the execute list, and the type of report mode used (Report Mode or Last Execution Report Mode) whenever you click this icon. You can restore this saved information by clicking the View Last Saved Report icon.

PC-DMIS shows the icon as "pressed" to indicate it is locked:

Also, with the window locked, the mouse pointer changes to this symbol whenever you move the mouse over the window to indicate that the report is in a locked state and cannot be modified:

You can still scroll, print, and view items in the report window, but you cannot make any modifications to any report until you unlock the window by clicking the icon again.

| Selecting this icon displays the TextOnly standard report. See "Using Standard Reports". See "Using Standard Reports" below.
| Selecting this icon displays the TextAndCAD standard report. See "Using Standard Reports". See "Using Standard Reports" below.
| Selecting this icon displays the CADOnly standard report. See "Using Standard Reports". See "Using Standard Reports" below.
| Selecting this icon displays the GraphicalAnalysis standard report. See "Using Standard Reports". See "Using Standard Reports" below.
| Selecting this icon displays the CADOnly_LandScape standard report. See "Using Standard Reports". See "Using Standard Reports" below.
| Selecting this icon displays the PPAP standard report. See "Using Standard Reports". See "Using Standard Reports" below.
| Selecting a stored report icon automatically causes the associated customized template or report to display your report's data. There can be multiple icons, appearing to the right of the standard report icons, each one representing a stored custom report or custom report template.

To remove one of your custom saved report icons from the toolbar, hold down the SHIFT key and then use your mouse to drag the icon off of the toolbar. This only removes the template or report from the toolbar; it does not delete the item from the system.

Note: The Reporting toolbar only resides within the Report window. You cannot select it from the toolbar area of the main PC-DMIS interface.
