Editing or Deleting Custom Reports

Custom reports are not stored as a typical file. Instead, they are stored as part of the measurement routine.

Editing a Custom Report

1. In PC-DMIS, select View | Report Window to select the Report window.

2. From the Report window, click on the Custom Report Selection Dialog icon ().

3. Select the report to edit.

4. From the Reporting toolbar, click Edit report () to place the report in edit mode. When the report is in edit mode, PC-DMIS shows the Edit window in Summary mode. PC-DMIS also enables or shows the following reporting tools:

• The Save () and Save As () buttons on the Reporting toolbar

• The Font bar

• The Layout bar

• The Object bar

• The View | Report Controls submenu

5. Use the Edit window and the above reporting tools to edit the report.

6. Click Save () or Save As () to save your changes.

7. Click Edit () again to leave edit mode and restore PC-DMIS to its previous state.

Alternately, you can also edit your custom report through the older File | Reporting | Edit | Custom Report menu item.

2. Make sure the report is not in edit mode.

3. From the Report Window, click on the Custom Report Selection Dialog icon ().

4. Select the report to delete.
