Properties of a report

The properties of opened report are available if nothing is selected in the navigator. The properties can be also displayed using the ribbon button "Report properties".

 

User can specify here the Name of a report. This name is then displayed in the Report manager dialogue.

It is also possible to select between available Languages. This setting defines the language of the output of the report (data displayed in the Report preview). After the change of the language, names of available items are translated immediately. Data in tables are translated after the regeneration of tables..

This setting does not influence the language of the Engineering Report workspace (GUI). Language of the workspace is defined together with the language of SCIA Engineer workspace in the SCIA Engineer menu Setup / Options / Other.

First page number and First chapter number properties defines the number of the first page and the number of the first chapter.

Property Numbering of chapters defines the way of numbering of chapters. There are available following ways of numbering:

Structured - the default numbering respecting levels of chapters and sub-chapters

Simple - numbering which does no respect levels of chapters and sub-chapters

None - numbering of chapters and report items is switched OFF

 

Hide empty items

Since version 14 it is possible to create reports using predefined templates. It is quite common that general report template contains also tables which are not relevant for all projects and remains empty.

Since version 14.1 it is possible to hide all empty tables from the report using new check-box in the report properties. When this property is switched ON, all those tables are hidden and removed also from table of content. In the preview they are replaced by small informative mark. In printings and exported reports, they are removed completely.

 

Switch left / right margins on even pages

This property enables to have opposite paper margins defined in Page format item on even pages which is useful in case of double sided print.
