Preparing Reports
Parent page: Streamlining Generation of Manufacturing Data with Output Jobs
A number of reports relating to the project or a specific project document can be prepared and generated for your design, including:
-
Bill of Materials - this report-type document provides an at-a-glance listing of all components required to build the product – including the bare board, which is essentially the base 'component' upon which all other parts are assembled. The BOM acts as a guide for what needs to be procured to build the product as designed. It also provides a means to calculate cost based on the required number of assembled boards in a requested spin.
- BOM Compare - a report providing information regarding which components have been changed (such as added, removed, or replaced) during the release of a Workspace project.
-
Component Cross Reference Report - use the report generator to creates a list of components, based on the schematic sheet that they are on in the design.
- Export Comments - creates a PDF file with exported project document comments.
- Report Project Hierarchy - creates a list of source documents used in the project. This output has no setup options, the ASCII report is written to the specified output folder.
- Report Single Pin Nets - creates a report listing any nets that only have one connection. This output has no setup options, the ASCII report is written to the specified output folder. A report listing all of the source schematic documents for the design, in terms of their hierarchy within the project. The file is generated directly and is in the format <ActiveDocumentName>.REP.
Report outputs can be added to the active Output Job file from the menu of the [Add New Report Output]
control in the Report Outputs region of the file or from the Edit » Add Report Outputs sub-menus of the main menus.
