The reporting system in System Architect provides a number of prewritten report files. Each of these report files (.rpt extension) contain a number of prewritten reports.
To run a prewritten report
1 Open the Samples encyclopedia. (Select File > Open Encyclopedia > Existing. Select your Connection name, highlight the Samples encyclopedia, and then click OK.)
2 Select Reports > Report Generator to open the Reports dialog.
3 Click File > Open Report File to open the Report File Selection dialog. Select Reports.rpt file, which contains prewritten reports, then click Open
4 Select the report Diagrams contained in the encyclopedia (audit trail).
5 Do one of these:
Click Print > OK to print the report.
If you are not connected to a printer, or you want to view the report on your screen, click Draft. The report will be generated to a dialog on your screen, unformatted.
6 To view other report files, select File > Open Report Files in the Reports dialog. Notice that a number of .rpt files are available for selecting in the C:\Program Files\UNICOM Systems\System Architect Suite\System Architect\Reports directory. You can view any of these report files (for example, object-oriented design reports ood.rpt) by opening them. You can choose to print or view a draft, just like you did with the diagrams contained in the encyclopedia (audit trail) report.
