Open Multiple Reports

The Report Panel allows you to keep multiple reports open at the same time, and allows you to switch between them using the 'Reports Navigator' in the Report Panel toolbar. Multiple report scenarios can be any one of the following, or a combination of any two or all of them.

Open a Report for Multiple Elements​

When an Element Report is open, you can select another element for which to view the data. Simply use the Search panel to look for and select the other element(s).

To open another Element:

  1. In the Search bar, begin typing its name of the element.

    As you type, the search results list populates with all elements matching the characters you have typed so far. The more characters you type, the more refined the search results list becomes.

While working with a display at any time you can decide to look at your Sigmafine data using reports. There are three ways to open the report:

  • Command bar -- The Report icon on the command bar shows all reports of type "Case" that have been configured. Reports are displayed in a list from which you can choose the one you want.

  • Element Tooltip -- The Element Tooltip shows all reports of type "Case and Element" that have been configured. Each report is represented by an icon. Hovering over an icon reveals the report name.

  • Element Detail panel -- The Element Detail panel shows all reports of type "Case and Element" that have been configured. Each report is represented by an icon. Hovering over an icon reveals the report name.
