About Reports

A report is linked to a template, an output format, and a target document. A target document is a subtype of the DOCUMENTS type such as a document or a requirement specification.

If no target document is selected in the report creation user interface, a target document is automatically created and associated with the new report. For more information, see Creating a Report.

A report file is generated in a target document. The target document name is displayed in the Document column of the Reports page.

The post-editing enables you to edit a generated report file at the generation end.

To foresee the post-editing, the two following steps are required in the report definition process:

1. Define editable texts or set fields in a template.
2. At the generation end, edit and modify editable texts in an online version of the generated report file. Values assigned in the previous generation are kept and can be modified.
