Creating a List Report

A list report documents a single object type within a model, and is displayed as a customizable list with columns and rows that you can filter as necessary. A list report is saved in the model and can be exchanged between models of the same type.

1. Launch the List Report Wizard by selecting Report > List Report Wizard, and select the object for which you want to create the report. By default the list report is based on the model and excludes shortcuts and sub-packages:
   
   
   
2. Click Next to go to the Column Filter page, which allows you to specify which of the object's properties will be included in the list report. Select a property in the left-hand pane to add it to the list in the right-hand pane. You can promote or demote properties in the list using the arrows at the bottom of the pane:
   
   
   
3. Click Next to go to the Row Filter page allows you to specify filters to restrict the objects that will be included in the list report. Select a property in the left-hand pane to add it to the list in the right-hand pane, select an operator, and then enter an expression to filter by (see Defining a Filter Expression). You can specify to sort the list on the values of a property by selecting the S[ort] checkbox.
   
   
   
4. Click Next to go to the Content Preview page allows you to visualize the results of your choices so far:
   
   
   

   To alter the definition click the Back button.

5. Click Next to go to the End page, which allows you to specify a name and code for the list report, and to add a comment. You can also specify whether to generate the report to an external file.
   
   
   
6. Click Finish to exit the wizard and create the report.

   The list report is added to the model and listed in the Browser under the List reports folder. If you have selected to generate the report to an external file, you will be asked to specify a file name.

• List Report Properties
  You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a list report property sheet, double-click its Browser entry in the List Reports folder or in the List of List Reports. By default, the property sheet of a list report always opens on the Content tab.
• Creating Result Sets
  A result list is a snapshot of the content of a list report at a given system date and time. You can create as many result sets as you want for the same list report, in order to keep a history of a given list report for future reference.
• Generating a List Report
  You can generate a list report to a CSV, XLS, RTF, HTML, or XML file.
• Importing and Exporting List Report Files
  It can be useful to exchange list report files between models of the same type. For example, you may want to compare the properties of a certain subset of classes in two OOMs. You can import and export list reports to and from your model using the List of List Reports (Report > List Reports).
