This article covers the following topics:
1. Content of the reports panel
The print button allows to generate reports for several items. The items for which a report can be generated are those stated in the table below:
Icon |
Name |
Description |
Building Functions |
It lists all the building functions that have been created in the project. | |
Buildings |
It lists all the Buildings as well as their contained devices, that have been created in the project. | |
Group Addresses |
It lists all the Group Addresses that have been created in the project. | |
Project Certificates |
|
|
Project Security |
|
|
Project Status |
It lists all the devices within their topology and their programming status. | |
Single Device |
|
|
Topology |
Only active (visible) parameters and Group Objects (the number of links is irrelevant) will be printed out, regardless of whether invisible Group Objects are linked to Group Addresses. | |
Trades | It lists all the trades as well as their contained devices, that have been created in the project. | |
Parts List | It lists all the devices that have been added to the project, grouped per manufacturer. | |
Project History | It lists all the entries from the project log, including those from the Project Tracing App as well. | |
Project Statistics | Statistics about the content of the project (e.g. Devices, Group Addresses, Buildings, Functions, etc.) |
2. Reports panel toolbar
The reports panel toolbar offers the functions stated in the table below:
Icon | Name | Description |
Refresh | It updates a report, for example if an element in the project has been modified or another device has been selected (there is no automatic update when there are changes in the project). | |
When the Print function is called, the standard Windows printer is always used as the default, i.e. it is suggested for printing, but, of course, it is possible to switch to another available printer (e.g. a user-installed PDF printer). | ||
Export |
Clicking the export button creates an export in PDF format of the report, while clicking the button allows an export in PDF, CSV or HTML format. |
|
Settings |
The definition of font, paper and printer formatting (independently of any possible settings of the printer itself) can be done here. These are also used for the view in ETS. Additionally, it can be defined whether the parameters of plug-in devices should be included in the report. The font takes effect on ETS5 preview and on PDF/HTML Export format. |
|
N/A |
Include |
The above elements can be enabled/disabled individually and independently of each other on the device in the respective reports (this can increase the size of the reports significantly). This, in turn, only affects active (visible) parameters and Group Objects (see above under Topology /Individual Device). |
N/A | Zoom |
|
N/A | Page change |
|
It is possible to cancel the generation of a report while ETS is creating it by clicking the 'Cancel' button (in the middle of the list view).
