Including items in the report

Any window can be included as an item in the report. Modify the selection of plans, perspectives and tables to be included in the report via the Report Contents window. Toggle the Include column value to specify whether an item is included in the report or not.

For something to print in the report, it requires that its Include value is "Yes" and every item above it in the report hierarchy is also "Yes". For example, if you want the Standard Plan on the Latitude Tendon Layer to be included in the report, the plan itself should have an Include value of "Yes", the Latitude Tendon layer should be "Yes" and the Layers folder should be "Yes". Likewise, with an Include value of "No" for the Criteria folder, RAM Concept does not include anything in that folder in the report.

This functionality is especially useful if you want to omit everything on a particular layer from the report. You can do so with one click, rather then changing the Include value of every plan, perspective, and text table on that layer to "No".

  1. Make sure the Include column is visible in the Report Contents window. You may need to widen the window or scroll horizontally.
  2. Click on the Include column value for the item you wish to include or exclude to toggle between Yes and No. A value of Yes in the Include column includes the item in the report printout while a value of No excludes the item.
    Note: If you want to include an item in the report, make sure every item in the hierarchy above it is also included.
