Editing an XML model report

Editing an XML model report

You can edit a report of your XML model.

The Report Editor allows you to use a predefined report template or to build your own report.

For more information on reports, see the Reports User’s Guide.

What is a report?

A report is an easy to consult document that shows parts or the global content of a model. You can print a report in order to have it on a paper support, or you can generate it in RTF or HTML format for a better reusability.

Creating an XML model report

You create an XML model report using the Report Editor. You cannot open the Report Editor without at least one model opened in the workspace.

When you create a model report, you need the following information:

Option	Description
Report name	Name of the report provided by default
Language	Language in which the report can be printed. English is the
	default language
Report template	List of available templates related to the opened model

To create a model report:

1 Select Model→Reports.
