Overview

 

This explains running reports in SIX.

Details

 

You can run the SIX "standard" Reports from the Reports tab from both the Project Explorer and the Project Editor.

Report Categories

 

There three default Report Groups in SIX: Client, Installation, Management. Clicking on any of these buttons will display the Reports assigned to that Category:

If you created your own Report Categories, say for custom Reports, you will find them under the Other button in the ribbon:

See here for details on Report Categories.

Report Definitions

 

If you double-click the Report name, or highlight the Report name and click the [Run] button, the default Report Definition for that Report will run. You can also select a particular Definition to run by double-clicking it or selecting and clicking the [Run] button. You can change the Parameters on a Report Definition prior to running it via right-click:

See here for information on Report Definitions.

Run With Filters

 

If you choose to "Run with Filters" a form will open allowing you to set a filter for the Report. In the example below, I want the Pick List Report that only displays Items assigned to the "Rough-In" or "Trim" Phase:

Report Viewer

 

Reports will generate and display in a separate window named the Report Viewer:

Sync Down Thumbnails

 

This option will be rarely used. It is intended for you to sync any Item Image changes that have taken place in the SIX Catalog since you last opened the SIX Client. Item Images will automatically sync with the SIX Catalog when you open the SIX Client.
