providing a variety of sorting options to change the display of the columns in the grid. Please
refer to the online help for more detailed information on how to customize the display of this
report type.

REPORTS
GENERATING A CRYSTAL REPORT
Note It is possible for you to copy the report data out of the Grid and paste into an Excel
spreadsheet if desired. This will allow you to save the report to a file to be reviewed later.

The last type of report format available from the Reports dialog is the Crystal Reports format.
Unlike the DGN reports, Crystal Reports are generated and opened in a viewer which allows you
to view and print the reports if desired. To generate a Crystal Report, you must have predefined
templates designed using the Crystal Reports software. However, Bentely OpenPlant PowerPID
ships a number of predefined Crystal Reports templates for you to use.
Note For more detailed information on how to customize and create your Crystal Reports,
please refer to the online help.
> GENERATE A CRYSTAL REPORT

including:
Export Report – Allows you to save the report as an .Rpt file to the desired directory.
When saved in this format, any machine with Crystal Reports installed can access the
report.
Print Report – Prints a hard copy of the report.
Refresh Report – Updates the report to reflect any changes made in the drawing.
Find Text – Provides a search option for text in the report. This is especially useful for
report with multiple pages.

REPORTS
CONCLUSION
> UPDATE THE CRYSTAL REPORT

1. Modify any of the component properties in your drawing.
Note You can leave the Crystal Reports open while doing this.
2. Next, click the Refresh button in the Crystal Reports toolbar to update the report.
Any component property modifications will be reflected in the report.
CONCLUSION
This concludes the OpenPlant PowerPID Tutorial. You should take the time to review specific
examples in this tutorial and experiment with them as they apply to your drawing environment.
Refer to the OpenPlant PowerPID online help for a more detailed explanation of available features
and functions.
