Creating Multiple Reports

Multiple Reports allow many individual reports to be combined together.

The grid at the top of the dialog contains a set of check-boxes that control which individual reports to include. The ellipsis buttons () in the Setup column to the right of each entry brings up the individual option dialogs for that report.

In the Options group the following configurations are available:

• Send to option specifies where the report will be sent. The options include:
• • PDF File - Creates a portable document format (PDF) file.
  • Excel Active Workbook - Adds the report as new worksheets in the currently active Excel workbook.
  • Excel New Workbook - Creates a new workbook file containing the report.
  • Printer - Sends the report directly to the printer.

• The PDF File and Excel New Workbook options require a file location to be specified.

• Open File - This option is only available for PDF files. Controls if the report file should automatically open after it is created.
• Automatically Generate Reports at the End of a Simulation - This option enables @RISK to create the reports configured immediately at the end of a simulation.

Command Buttons

The Multiple Reports Setup window includes a number of command buttons at the bottom of the window:

• Help - Open help resources (online or local, based on @RISK settings); see Help Button for more information.
• Settings/Actions - Window-specific settings and actions. The Simulation Settings options are:
• • Set as Defaults - Set the currently configured Simulation options as the default values; this setting is applied to the application and will persist between workbooks.
  • Reset to Defaults - Reset the current configuration to the @RISK defaults or the user-defined defaults, if those defaults have been set.
• Save and Exit - Validates and saves the report settings in the dialog without actually creating a report.
• Generate Report - Runs the report creation process.
