Exporting a custom report

To export a custom report, save the required report in a .PX15 file. This file can later be imported into another Projetex database.

Importing a custom report

You can import a custom report to your database from a PX15 file.

Note: Custom reports which are displayed in the Custom Reports section of the Projetex Server Administrator are the ones currently integrated into the database. PX15 files are used solely for export-import purposes, simply copying a new PX15 file to \AIT\Projetex 3D\Projetex Server\Reports\ will not import the new report into the database.

To import a custom report, use a PX15 file to load the required report.

1. Save the PX15 file being imported to the \AIT\Projetex 3D\Projetex Server\Reports\ folder.

2. Click the Load button.

3. Locate the PX15 file being imported, select it and click the Open button.

 

Editing a custom report

To make changes to a custom report, select this report in the list and click the Edit button. This button opens FastReport (report designer interface). The FastReport designer is a complex tool intended for IT specialists. It requires some basic SQL knowledge. Step-by-step creation of simpler reports is described in the Creating a custom report topic.
