Report

File/Print (Windows only): If you want to print the report directly instead of writing it to a file, click on the Print option. If you want to change the current print options click on the Print Setup button. Otherwise click on File to report to a file.

File Name

If you want to change the name of the generated report file, change the name in the File Name field. A suggested file name will be derived from the "file pattern" field in the General Report Options. The print file is placed in the directory from which you started ProMod-PLUS, unless you specify a full or relative path name.

Windows only: Clicking on the Browse button will display a selector from which you can browse through the existing files. This helps you to find a name that has not been already been used. Enter the name in the File Name field and click on OK to close the selector.

Report Format

You can choose between ASCII, Postscript (Motif only), RTF (Windows only) or DTP format by clicking on one of the radio buttons offered in the options box.

In ASCII format, reports will not contain charts, even if these are chosen in the options. You can output the charts using the Plot command from the selector pop-up.

In Postscript and RTF formats, both text and charts can be included, depending on the report settings.

In DTP format, so-called markups are embedded in the report for use by a word processor or desktop publishing system. This system must have macro-processing capability to be able to process this file. Any charts to be included in the report are converted to graphics files. The format of the graphics files is determined by the Plot Options. You can choose Postscript (or Metafile under Windows) format for example.

A set of standard codes is generated by ProMod-PLUS with the report. These codes are then mapped to macros by means of a mapping table. A sample mapping table is provided but in order to use this option you should first set up your own.

Indentation

This option enables you to set indentation for Design (MD and TD) and OOA/OOD reports.

Print (Motif only): If you want to print this file directly click on the Print option. If you want to change the current print options for reports click on the Print Options button.

Clicking on the Options button will display the report options for the appropriate phase: Requirements Report Options, Modular Design Report Options, Task Design Report Options or OOA/OOD Report Options.

Once all the options are correct click on the Report button. Alternatively cancel the window by clicking on the Cancel button.
