Need to Run Reports based on a selected set of items. But not seeing Selection Type option.

Need to Run Reports based on a selected set of items. Upgraded to Update 13 but don't have the option to set selection type in the Report dialog that was shown in https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/b/microstation_blog/posts/new-in-microstation-connect-edition-update-12---set-element-elevation .  Are there limitations on when this is available?

  • Can you tell me how you got the properties dialog to come up on screen

    When you define a Report, you first use the New report definition button. On clicking that button the UI adds a new Report Definition, and gives you the opportunity to rename it.  Here's an example...

    At the same time, the UI shows the Properties pane.  Start with the Included Items sub-pane.   You can add an Item Type here, or you can add other objects such as DGN Elements, or both of those.  I don't find the UI especially intuitive — perhaps you'll fare better than me.  Probably you need to experiment — it's easy to take a wrong turning and create a nonsensical report.

    I've published a few example report definitions, that operate on DGN Elements.
