Report Designer
The third-party software Report Designer enables you to create and output a report for all object types you have previously defined (see chapter "Create a report definition").
Design Report
If you want to design your own report or customize an imported report, you can do this via the Report Designer. It is only possible to design a report if you have selected the Default Designer Definition and linked an object to your Dataset Defintion. To do so, follow the steps below:
-
Right-click on the relevant Report Definition and select Design Report... from the context menu. The Report Designer opens.
Design report
- To customize your report design in the Report Designer, refer to the third-party List & Label® manual.

Transfer Tosca Commander objects to Report Designer
In addition to the standard objects that the Report Designer provides, some Tosca Commander objects are also automatically available as soon as the corresponding Columns attributes are transferred. The following Tosca Commander objects are available in the Report Designer:
In order to correctly display these objects in the Report Designer, select the corresponding attributes within Tosca Commander ( see "Tosca Commander object types").
Make sure to select only the Nameattribute and any other attributes necessary for your report. Selecting unnecessary attributes increases the amount of data that needs to be loaded, and can result in long wait times. |
To specify object attributes, follow the steps below:
-
Select the Dataset Definition for which you want to select attributes.
-
In the Details tab of the respective Dataset Definition, select Name and any other desired attributes from the dropdown menu in the Columns column. If this column is not visible, add it via the Column Chooser.
Object attributes
The attributes available in the dropdown menu of the Columns column depend on the Object type. |
