Adding Report Files

The first step in using analysis reports is to add a report file, which is stored in the Reports folder in the Project Organizer.

How to Add a Report File

1. Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:
   • Ribbon Select Project > New > Add Report File.
   • Right-Click In the Project Organizer, right-click on the Reports folder and from the context menu select Add Report File.

   The Add File dialog opens.

2. In the File Type field at the top, make sure Report is selected.
3. In the Source area, choose to create the new file based on a template or an existing file.
   • New From Template Choose either a factory template file or one of your own custom template files as a starting point. The new file will take on all of the settings contained in the template. If you want to use the factory template provided by Flare, expand the Factory Templates folder and click on a template file. If you want to use your own custom template file, expand the appropriate folder and click on a file. See Templates.
   • New From Existing Choose an existing file of the same type as a starting point for your new file. As with template files, your new file will take on all of the settings contained in the file you select. To use this option, click , use the Open File dialog to find a file, and double-click it.
4. (Optional) If you want to place the file into a subfolder previously created in the Content Explorer or Project Organizer, in the Folder field click and select the subfolder. Otherwise, keep the default location. See Creating Subfolders.
5. In the File Name field, type a new name for the report file.
6. (Optional) If you want to apply file tags, expand the Attributes section at the bottom of the dialog. Next to the File Tags field, click and select the file tags you want to apply. Click OK. See Associating Tags With Files.
7. Click Add. The report file is added to the Project Organizer. The Report Editor opens.
