Adding custom reports

In addition to the out-of-box reports, you can add your own custom reports to meet specific requirements. You need to save your customized report file (in *.xslt format) in the following folders, located in the Workspace_Home\.com.savvion.studio\simulation\reports\ folder.
*Normal: stores all the out-of-box reports. You can add a new report or create a copy of any of the listed reports and modify it (as required) using any XML editor. You can then add the report property in the reports.xml file.
*Comparison (optional): stores all the out-of-box comparison reports. You can add a new comparison report or create a copy of any of the listed comparison reports and modify it (as required) using any XML editor. You can then add the report property in the reports.xml file. For details, see Comparing simulation results.
To add a custom report to the \Normal folder:
1. Open the reports.xml file using any XML editor.
2. In the <Reports> tag, add the custom report parameters.
A sample entry is provided below:
<Report name="Custom Report" xslFileName="MyCustomReport.xslt" defaultAffix="custom">
<Description>My customized report.</Description>
</Report>
where the <Report> tag contains the following attributes and tags:
*name indicates the report name as it should appear in the report list.
*xslFileName indicates the name of the saved report file (in *.xslt format).
*defaultAffix indicates the default affix to be contained in the generated HTML file name.
*Description tag provides the description of the report.
3. Save the reports.xml file.
