Reports View

Use this view to create reports for your project. Reports are overviews of topics that match certain criteria or contain certain sections. That way you can generate topics that include parts from several topics in your documentation such as for example a glossary. Or you can generate list of topics that match criteria such as undocumented, version specific or unfinished. Reports can be included in any topic in your documentation.

To create reports
  • Click Add to generate a new report.
  • Click Remove to remove an existing report.
  • Click Copy to create a report using the settings of an existing report.
Report Settings

Report settings determine which topics are included in your report, and which parts of the topics are shown in your report. The following settings are available:

  • Name: The name of your report.
    • Select the Active check box to include your report in the output.
  • Target: The Topic ID of the topic in which you want to include your report.
  • Options: The set of topics you use to create your reports and linking and formatting options.
    • Select the Print Header check box, to print your report in a table with header.
    • Select the Use for Aliasing check box, to use the topic ID of the target topic as link alias for the report items. For example, use this feature to link all glossary items in your documentation to your glossary topic.
  • Criteria: Topics matching the selected criteria are printed in the report. For a complete description of all available criteria, see Create a Filter.
    • Click the Section arrow to see the Criterion list.
  • Print: Topic parts that you can print in your report.
    • Click the Topic Title arrow to see the Value list.
    • Click the Sorting arrow to see the Sorting value list.
    • Select Asc. or Desc. - no print, to sort a report by these values without printing them in the report. For example, you might add a section called "Last edit" in which you insert the last edit date as YYYY/MM/DD and sort report entries by this section.
