Report Figures

This tool allows the user to export a view(s) to a pre-defined Word template. The template controls the size and layout of the figure, and can include special keywords such as view names, project name etc to help identify/label the figure.

Maximum paper sizes are governed by Word (and its internal 16-bit paper size limitation - which translates to a maximum of A2 in metric paper sizes).

Select Template: Select the Word document to use as a template for the plots. These must have been configured in either your local waterRIDE installation or Enterprise settings to be available for use.

Output Format: Select whether a Word document or PDF file(s) should be saved. Word 2010 or greater is needed to produce PDF files.

Merge into single document: If multiple views are selected, this switch controls whether all figures should be included in a single output file, or separate files. If separate files, the files will be named according to the full view-tree (and prefixed with any GIS field labels)

Selected Views: Tick all views that you wish to export. Right clicking provides access to "select all" or "select none" shortcuts

Plot Options: Specify whether the scale and legend (and its size) should be shown in the figure

View Extents: Select how view the extents of each view are defined:

 - Current extent: uses the current view extent to define the extent of each figure

 - Default extent: uses the default view extent to define the extent of each figure

 - Polygon GIS layer: uses the bounding rectangle for each polygon in an external GIS file to define the extent(s) of each view. In this way, multiple "sub-views" for each selected view can be exported in bulk.

Note that it is the size and aspect ratio of the table cell in the Word template that defines the ultimate view extents. All views will be centred about the desired "view extents", with aspect ratios matching the Word document cell ratios.

Select GIS Layer: If polygons in a GIS layer are to be used to define the view extent(s), this file must be specified along with the field containing the label ID for each polygon (eg Area_1, Area_2, Area_3 etc).

For example, the following GIS layer will export 3 figures for each selected view, the first being labelled as the view name-Area_1.pdf:
