To Generate Reports in OpenPlant Orthographics Manager

Background

OpenPlant Orthographics Manager allows user to generate Report lists in Microsoft Excel. User can Generate Reports for Pipe, Instrument, Support, Equipment, Nozzle, HVAC, Cable Tray, Beam and Tag lists. User should have Microsoft Office installed and needs to generate output to generate report as application will fetch data from output file. So no reports generation will be possible for View Arrangement Data files having no output files.

   5. Reports List Drop Down

7. The Report Data dialog for the type of list selected will pop up
