Assume you have a very large encyclopedia, and you want a list of all access path definitions related to diagrams in the encyclopedia. Completing the level specification as shown below prints the name and attributes of all access path definitions used by symbols on diagrams in the encyclopedia. Start by selecting the Diagram class for Level 1.

In the following instructions, only relevant items in the Add Report dialog are described. For a description of all items, see Add Report dialog.

Class is selected using the field arrow for each level. All level specifications (class types) entries displayed here were selected using the options in the Where dialog.

Specify your starting class as Diagrams, and specify the diagram type as “Entity Relation”.

The next level is made visible by using the scrollbar. Further levels are made available as you pick a class for that level, up to the maximum supported.

Specify the Relation/Class specification as “contain Symbols” and the symbol type as “Entity” on the second level of the report.

Specify the Relation/Class specification as “defined by Definitions” on the third level of the report.

Access path symbols are always defined by access path definitions; therefore, you do not have to specify the definition type in this report. Otherwise, you must select the type of definition you want to include.

Specify the Relation/Class specification as “References Definitions” on the fourth level of the report, and then select the specifications for this level, followed by the Properties to Print (their names and attributes).

To test the report, click Generate. This provides an on screen report in an interactive grid which has Save and Print buttons.
