When you publish documents, they are published in an .XML formatted document. You can also define the application to publish your documents as a graphical report as a PDF document alongside the .XML document. To do this:
-
Open the Smart Instrumentation Administration module.
-
On the Open Administration Module dialog box, select Domain Administrator and the domain name.
-
On the Menu bar select Activities > Preferences Management
-
On the Preferences Management dialog box, click Advanced.
-
On the Advanced Domain Preferences dialog box, in the Module/Feature column locate SmartPlant Integration.
-
Select the SmartPlant Integration > General > Graphic Report Format check box.
-
Click OK.
-
On the Preferences Management dialog box, select SmartPlant Integration > General.
-
In the Graphical report format field select:
-
PDF — publishes graphical reports in PDF format.
-
None — doesn't publish any graphical reports.
-
-
Click OK.
-
The graphical reports are published to the folder defined in Smart Instrumentation Preferences > General > Output document folder field.
-
You can also set the report format from the Smart Instrumentation Preferences > SmartPlant Integration > General > Graphical report format. If the Graphical report layout field is locked, you can unlock the field from the Advanced Domain Preferences dialog in the Administration module.
-
After defining the required format, you can lock the Graphical report format field by un-checking the Graphic report format check box in the Advanced Domain Preferences in the Administration module.
