Hello,
I am having a tough time working with custom Reports.
It seems like some reports contain fields that others don't.
Right now I am working on a cable report. I want to show:
Cable Tag, Cable PN Description, From Location, To location, Cable PN, Cable Mfg.
for example:
CBL-001, 8 pair signal cable, C1-PLC1, C2-PLC2, 77777, Alphawire
It seems like I have 2 choices of report types, "Cable Core" or "Cable"
One will give me the location tag but not the cable MFG, and vice versa.
All-in-all I find the Report Customization to be really non-intuitive, with descriptions that are different from the field names and I really wish it were easier to do some simple tweeking to the reports
I don't want a solution to THIS report quandary, well yes I do, but I want a tool to use in future as well.
If I had a document as I have for the symbol attributes (thank-you Go Engineer SOLIDWORKS Electrical Symbol Attributes | GoEngineer )
that lists each report type with the available fields and description of the fields I would be oh so happy.
How do I correlate this:
to this:
In many cases it doesn't seem to match. For example on another report it took almost a day for me to figure out that "Line Type" was actually "Wire Type". I am not a programmer or someone with a ton of time to delve into this ...so any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Lynne
