Hi,

I have a question regarding generate mixed layout report for a testing project.

In this example, sample A tests against B1, B2, B3, B4..... Each pair’s report shall look like the attached file. Each report page header shall be the pair in test.

My question is how to export one report including all the pairs’ reports in the order A-B1, A-B2,A-B3,A-B4 as the same layout as the attached file?

Currently I am using the report book which includes two reports (one for all the pairs' test results, one for all the pairs' test images)

Hello James,

I am afraid that we did not get a clear idea of what you are aiming at. The purpose of the Report Book feature is very simple - to combine several reports into one document. If you have 4 reports A, B1, B2 and B3 and you want to achieve a final document like so A-B1, A-B2 and A-B3, then it is clear that you should add report A 3 times in the same order as the pair you've listed.
If this is not what you need, please elaborate on your example so that we can advise you accordingly.

Sincerely yours,

Hi, Steve,

 

In the attached sample report (Device A tests against Device B), the report head including the pair name (Device A, Device B such as B1, B2, B3…). The report of this pair consists of test results and some test images.

 

The number of B is dynamic (could be 5, 10, or 50 etc)

 

 

For a single pair report (A tests against B1), I can do it with a report book, which combines two single reports (one with the test results and one with the test images) together to get it exactly as the attached sample file.

 

 

My question is:

 

In the report viewer, if I select the parameter: Device A, How can I get all the reports (A-B1, A-B2, A-B3, etc) all together?

 

 

Thanks,

 

James

I would do this through external control on the same page as the viewer e.g. a dropdown list. Whenever the user selects Device A, all needed reports (A-B1, A-B2, A-B3, etc) would be added to a report book:

ReportBook reportBook = new ReportBook();
reportBook.Reports.Add(
new ReportA-B1());
reportBook.Reports.Add(
new ReportA-B2());
reportBook.Reports.Add(new ReportA-B3());
....
reportBook.Reports.Add(new ReportA-Bx());

My 2 cents

In my case, the report A-B1 is already a report book combining two different layout reports. Does this way still work?

thanks,

James
