[IR SS2] Alignment reports from Geometry tab?

The issue with having a dropdown menu is when you do want to report on multiple alignments, it would only allow 1 alignment to be active to do the report.  But I can see that if you want to report on every alignment and build an individual report, you would find this beneficial.  You may can customize the report format you want to do a page break after each alignment where you can report on ALL alignments using the asterisk (*) wildcard and allow it to generate the mass report but each alignment starting on a new page.

The reporting option allows you to enter in the names, ranges, wildcards, etc to build the list of alignments you want to include in the reports.  There are many ways you can build the list for reporting the alignments.  I don't believe the recording was posted to the communities, but one of the past SIGs covered ways to input into these fields to build the list.

Are there any tutorials or articles about how to "customize the report format"? I know they are XML, but If you don't know XML, where do you learn it? Do you have examples - like how to get a page break at each alignment?

Does Bentley offer ANY training in report writing/formatting with XML/XSL?

I understand that there are books and website out there I could use to learn this on my own in my copious free time. I'd like to see something more targeted to civil report generation, preferably some training that doesn't assume that I already know all the ins and outs of XML/XSL Despite my best intentions, I am not a programmer nor web designer. I'm a CAD technician with a job to do.

The answer to your question is "No".  I found that pretty frustrating myself.  Fortunately I did have some time to learn (just enough to stumble through!).

I do have some time again and am willing to try.  Which stylesheet has the information you need?

I need to generate the "default" Horizontal Alignment Report, but I need it to put a page break at the end of every alignment, if that's possible. I probably need the same thing for the "default" Vertical Alignment Report.

Which style sheet that is? I'm not really sure... Those two are in Geometry reports, if that helps.

The goal is to be able to run alignment reports for every alignment on my project without getting just a huge run-on report with no breaks at all, or having to select and run each alignment individually. If there are page breaks between each alignment, that makes checking, printing and filing much easier (in theory, people won't get so confused).

Here are a couple of primitive attempts.  I would like to put the project headers on the top of each page, but that will have to wait until tomorrow - after the vertical alignments.

These won't look any different in the Report Browser (or any other browser for that matter), nor will they print any differently.  You will need to save the report from the browser as an html file.  Open the html file from Internet Explorer and print from there.  I don't know why Chrome doesn't work and I don't have any other browsers try.  It's a little roundabout, but it beats creating them one by one.
