How to: Individualize reports
In the viflow edition viflow silver, you have the option of creating and customizing the "Process description" report. Many more reports are available in the gold edition. Using the process description as an example, we would like to show you how you can customize reports to suit your needs.
First open the Reports window. To do this, go to View – Window – Reports.
Now search for the Process - Description report and open its properties window by right-clicking – Properties.
You will see the General, Profiles and Configuration categories in the report properties.
General
You have the following options in the General tab:
Include in WebModel
If you select the Yes option here, the report is generated during the WebModel export and can be called up for all process objects via the properties window.
Include Structure
If all sub-processes are to be included in the report, activate Yes here. However, integration into the WebModel is no longer possible in this case.
Rotate Graphic
If it is a large or long process graphic, it may be useful to rotate the graphic by 90 degrees. This keeps the graphic legible. To do this, select Yes from the dropdown.
Output Format
Here you can specify the file format in which the process is to be displayed. The options may vary depending on the report.
Configuration
In the Configuration tab, you can show or hide all subordinate viflow objects or properties in the report. This applies, for example, to comments, the release status, potentials, etc.
Profiles
If you want to create several reports of the same type with different settings, you can use the Profiles. First add a new profile using the plus icon, enter a unique name and confirm with OK.
