Displays properties for a report item so you can select properties to use in your report template. This tab is part of the Define Report Items dialog, which opens when you select Define on the Define Report Contents dialog.
Group by the selected property
Automatically adds a special Report Item Group Total property to the Map Properties menu on the Add-Ins tab. The Report Item Group Total property displays the number of items that have identical reported properties. If you want to tally similar items in this way, be sure not to map unique properties, such as item tags, onto your report. If you do, then items are never grouped together because a unique tag is a property that items never share. For example, you can use this feature to give you the total numbers of valves with 1" nominal diameter, 1.5" nominal diameter, 2" nominal diameter, and so forth.
Repeat parent data
Displays the cells of parent item data in your report. For example, if your report contains Unit then Drawing as a child of Unit, selecting this option for Drawing causes repetition of Unit cells on any line that contains Drawing cells.
Available properties
Displays all properties for the report item you specified on the Define Report Contents dialog.
Selected properties
Lists the report item properties you have selected from the Available properties list that are consequently available for inclusion in your report.
Left Arrow
Moves the selected item in the Selected properties list to the Available properties list. You can select more than one item by using the CTRL and SHIFT keys and then selecting the left arrow. Also, double-clicking an item in the Selected properties list moves it to the Available properties list.
Right Arrow
Moves the selected item out of the Available properties list and into the Selected properties list. You can select more than one item by using the CTRL and SHIFT keys and then selecting the right arrow. Also, double-clicking an item in the Available properties list moves it to the Selected properties list.
Use short text
Displays the short text value, which is defined in Data Dictionary Manager. Only select-listed properties can be displayed in their short value form. In a few cases, the short value is longer than the regular value.
Use select list index
Includes the numerical index of the select entry along with either the short value or select list value for that property. See Data Dictionary Manager Help.
