The Reports Window

To work with Reports, click the button on the Main Toolbar or select the menu item "File > Reports" or use [Ctrl+P] keyboard shortcut.

Main bar

The Main bar is a collection of four speed buttons providing quick access to commonly used commands.

	Immediately prints selected report at chosen printer (assigned to current report and/or current user).
	Prints selected report at chosen printer. Print dialog, where it is possible to set additional printing properties (select printer, number of copies, print mode, etc.) will be shown before printing of report.
	Shows preview of selected report.
	Exports selected report (data) to CSV file, Text file, Excel file, HTML file, PDF file, RTF file, XML file, ODT file, ODS file or sends report as an email. Read more about export in chapter Export.

Reports

In this section of Reports Window, you can choose one of predefined or custom reports, which can be printed, previewed, exported or edited. Reports that will be displayed depend on view, which is currently active (Plans, Materials, Assemblies or Storages).

TIP! Double-click the chosen report to preview it immediately.

Further, it is possible to manage (create, copy, edit, delete) all available reports and also set printer for each report, in this section.

	Creates new empty report from default template.
	Copies selected report to new one.
	Starts editor for selected report.
	Deletes selected report.
	Sets printer for selected report.

Setting of printer for selected report

By clicking button , it is possible to set printer and appropriate paper size to selected report. This setting is tied together with Computer Name, Report Name and/or User Name. It means that every computer on the network allows (if it is necessary) to print current report on different printer, without changing printing options (avoiding relentless changing of printer).

TIP! Setting of printer to each computer and user individually can be very useful feature on network versions (LAN, WAN) of the program, especially on thin client architecture networks such as Citrix and Terminal Services.

IMPORTANT! Assigning of printer to each user individually is possible only in network versions of the program.

Date

Some reports can be filtered by creation or manufacture date. You can set range of date (Date From - Date To) you want to print.

Following list represents predefined reports, which can be filtered by date:

Filter by creation date

Plans: Cutting Layouts, Cutting Layouts [compact], Plan Parts, Plan Sources, Plans, Plans [detailed].

Filter by manufacture date

Materials: Material Sources, Material Sources [grouped by storages].

Storages: Storage Sources, Storage Sources [grouped by materials].

TIP! If you want to build your own reports using SQL (Structured Query Language), you can apply date parameters as "DateFr" (Date From) and "DateTo" (Date To) in your scripts.

Data selection

Here you can set data selection according to master dataset of selected report.

Set "Current …" if you want to print current record or set "All …" if you want to print all records of the current master dataset. Set "All ... for all ..." if you want to print batch report.

Labels

Here you can set number of copies and starting position to print label reports.

Copies (enter 0 to read qty from data)

Set number of copies (1–500) for printing of labels. In this case number of copies will be same for each label in current dataset. Set 0 if you want to print number of copies, which is entered in quantity field (Qty) of current dataset.

Start printing from position

Set start position (1-200) from which you want to print first label of the current labels dataset. The order of printing the labels is "Top to Bottom" and "Left to Right", as you can see in the following layout.
