Organizing Reports
Reports are accessed from the tree view. The tree view is divided into organizational nodes, often referred to as modules. The enVisual system has the system modules defined by default, but it is also possible for user defined modules to be added.
To define modules, select the 'tools' menu from the toolbar and then click the 'Add Module' option, or click the add button in standard controls and select 'Module' from the displayed menu.
Name, is the name of the module you want to create and is also how it will be displayed in the tree, system module determines if the module name is editable and the order index is a number that defines where in the list it will be displayed with 1 being at the top.
Modules can also be edited. To edit a module highlight the desired module in the tree view and click the edit button on the standard controls. This will display the module maintenance form. Note, modules that have been set as system modules cannot be edited. |
