Saving a Report

Saving a report

A report can be saved by using the Save as option in the File menu and setting the file type to report . The difference between a report and a template is that a template is the instructions or recipe of how to construct the report. To actually create the report you have to generate it and then create some sort of output. This could mean running D3PLOT command files, programs, FAST-TCF scripts etc.

Alternatively, once the report has been created you can save the whole thing as a report. This saves the output of programs, command files etc. with the template so when you next read the file the results are already available (the report does not need to be regenerated).
