Overview
The Support reports cannot be generated via OpenPlant Modeler CE, yet we can either edit or create Support Report using Reporting Designer. This Wiki will demonstrate steps in editing the Support MTO Report via Reporting Designer and generating the same Report via OpenPlant Modeler CE. Topics covered are as follows:
- Copy & Edit a Report.
- Generate appropriate “Field List”.
- Edit Column Names.
- Drag & Adjust Column width.
- Create New Columns.
- Adjust overall Table proportionally.
Steps to Accomplish
1. In OpenPlant Modeler CE, create an assembly containing different Supports.
