All the delivered report templates are tabular format reports. When the report is generated, all properties populate the report by using the same format defined for the first row by means of macros. In other words, tabular format reports are row-based. The Options command on the Add-Ins tab of the Excel sheet is important for setting aside space for the header and empty rows between lines in the report because the placement of report item properties is restricted in the tabular format report template.
For example, the report template for an Equipment List can appear like this:
Equipment Name |
Equipment Description |
Equipment Type |
#Equipment::Name# |
#Equipment::Description# |
#Equipment::Type# |
When the report is generated, the output appears like this:
Equipment Name |
Equipment Description |
Equipment Type |
D-100 |
Horizontal Drum 100 |
Horizontal Drum |
T-100 |
Potable Water Tank |
Vertical Tank |
