Catalog part reports

You can make following types of reports:

  • Part report. The part report contains only general information of the selected parts.
  • Size report. The size report describes each size of each selected part.

The type of the report is determined from the name of the output record defined in the Format control for catalog parts. If the name of the record is SIZE, a size report is generated, otherwise part report is generated.

The current date is printed to a page relative field DATE.
