Report Data

Overview


A Report Data is an object (images/download/thumbnails/191398628/image2018-2-22_8-33-3.png ) available in the Tree view like a mesh, a point cloud, a label...

The Report Data contains data to use in a report. This data is, mainly, added automatically in the project by commands providing data such as; measurements, comparisons or various analysis (like Analysis > Compare Inspect Cloud).


A Report Data can contain:

  • one or several view sets (at least one by default)

  • tables of data

  • pictures

  • other values such as results, parameters of the command, graphic, etc.


When you launch the Report Editor for the first time after creating a report data, a chapter will be automatically created, using a default Report Template.
