Home Tab - Word Report Templates

The following commands are available in the Home tab of the Word report template’s Ribbon.

Report

  Create Report generates the report with calculated results and plots in Microsoft Word.

  Function Wizard opens the Function Wizard, which allows you to build functions in the report template that return results (e.g., reliability values, failure rate, etc.) and other information from the associated data sources. Note that the functions will not return any results until the report is generated.

Tip: After the function has been inserted by the wizard, you can copy and/or edit its settings directly in the template.

  Plot Wizard opens the Plot Wizard, which allows you to insert plot holders for the same types of plots that are generated in folio or diagram plot sheets. Although you also have the option to copy/paste a static plot graphic from any folio or diagram plot sheet into the report template, using the Plot Wizard instead makes it easy to change the associated data source when you reuse the template and ensures that the plot in the generated report will always show the latest analysis. Note that the plot holders will not return any results until the report is generated.

  Associate Data Sources allows you to define or change up to four default data sources that can be referenced by functions and plots in this report template.
