Adding Columns to the Table

Adding columns to the table

To add a column to the table use the Add button in the Column properties section.

This will create a new column with the default name Column 1 . This is what will be shown as the column header. You can change the name in the Name: textbox and change the font used with the Font... button.

Once the column has been created you can decide how the data should be generated. Continuing the example above the first column is the zone so we change the column name to ZONE. The individual analyses that were post-processed by REPORTER saved the zone for the analysis in the variable ZONE, so for the generated data we want to input the text %ZONE% which means the value of variable ZONE. REPORTER will first look for any variables in the reporter_variables file. If it finds the variable then the value will be used. If REPORTER cannot find a variable in the reporter_variables file it will then look for a variable with the same name in the current template and use that value.

The font can be changed with the Font... button and hyperlinks (e.g. see the ZONE column in the above example output) and conditional formatting (e.g. see the HIC column in the above example output) applied using the Hyperlink... and Conditions... buttons.

Instead of just using text in the generated data you can run a program instead which could be a standard library program or an external program . In this case the output from the program will be put in the table instead.

You can add as many columns to the table as necessary in exactly the same way.
