Analysis Reports

An analysis report is a spreadsheet that displays copies of analysis results and/or plots for a response that has been analyzed in a standard design folio. The report can display any result that's available in the design folio's Analysis Summary window for the selected response, as well as any applicable plot.

What’s Changed? In previous versions of the software, analysis reports were known as Customized Reports.

Creating an Analysis Report

To create an analysis report, choose Insert > Reports and Plots > Add Analysis Report.

Then choose the folio/response to import the results from and click OK. In the Report Generator window that appears, follow these steps to configure and create the report.

• The Available Report Items area on the left of the window displays all of the report items (i.e., analysis results and/or plots) that can be included in the generated report. To include an item in the report, add it to the Included Report Items area in by double-clicking it, dragging it to the area or clicking the > button.

• The >> button adds all of the available items.

• The < button removes the selected item; the << button removes all items.

• The generated report will display the items in the same order in which they appear in the Included Report Items area. To move an item up or down in the list, drag it or click the up/down arrow icon.

• The Item Properties area on the right side of the Report Generator window displays the default name (Type) of the selected item. To use an alternative name as the heading in the report, change the text in the Name field.

• If the selected item is a type of plot, you can click the Preview Plot button to see what the plot will look like in the report. Any plot settings you change in the plot preview will be used in the generated report (but will not affect the folio the report is based on).

• If you want to display multiple instances of the same plot (e.g., using different plot settings), you can include duplicate report items by 1) adding the item again from the Available Report Items area or 2) selecting the included item and choosing Included Items > Duplicate.

• Once you have added and arranged all of the desired items, choose Actions > Generate Report.

Reusing Settings in the Report Generator

When the Report Generator window is open, you can save the current settings (i.e., report item selections), or load settings that were previously saved.

• To save all your current report settings for use in future reports, choose Profiles > Save Profile.

Then specify the name and location of the DOE++ report file (*.drt) that will store the settings.

• To overwrite all the settings in the Report Generator window and use the settings from a DOE++ report file instead, choose Profiles > Open Profile.

Then select the *.drt file that has all the desired settings.

Note: When you load report items from a DOE++ report file, only the items that apply to the selected folio/response will be included in the report.
