The following tasks enable you to generate and print various spec-related reports.
Use this procedure to print a report of specifications that are based on the same spec form. In the procedure topic, the report for specifications according to selected forms is shown as an example. You need to have access to the Specifications module to print spec reports. The steps involved in printing most of the Specifications module reports are similar.
Use this procedure to set a date range and then generate a report of all spec forms that underwent changes within this date range.
Generate a Report for a Selected Field Name
Use this procedure to generate a Spec Form Field Report for a certain data field that is in use in spec forms. This report indicates the forms that use this data field, and also indicates the headers that you assigned to this field in the Spec Data Dictionary for the various forms. For field headers that you did not edit in the Spec Data Dictionary, this report prints the headers that appear in the pages that the form contains.
Assign User-Defined Headers for Spec Form Field Reports
Use this procedure to edit form headers or to assign user- defined headers to the data fields in a selected form. The header changes affect Spec Form Fields reports and Form Browser views that you create in the Browser module. This procedure does not affect the display of specifications based on a form that you edit in the Spec Data Dictionary, nor does this procedure influence printed specifications.
Print the Currently Open Specification
Use this procedure to print out the currently open specification. The Specifications module preferences that you set on the Preferences dialog determine how the software prints specification notes.
Use this procedure to print specifications into a single .pdf file, or to individual .pdf files.
