Working with reports
OMNIC’s report and report notebook features let you create, print and save reports
that contain the results of your work in formats that you select or design. Saving
your work as reports in a notebook lets you easily find information later and print it
out using a consistent format. OMNIC includes several example report templates
suitable for laying out a variety of information. You can also create your own
templates tailored to showing the kinds of information you work with.
The report templates provided with OMNIC are in the C:\My
Documents\OMNIC\Report directory (or other location where you installed
OMNIC). To use one of these templates to create a report, use Template in the
Report menu. You can also use the Template command to edit a template or create
a new template. See “Selecting, editing or creating a report template” for details.
To view or print a finished report, use Preview/Print Report in the Report menu.
See “Previewing or printing a report” for details.
You can save your reports in notebooks you create. These notebooks are much like
the laboratory notebooks you may have used to record your work. To view the
contents of a notebook, use View Notebook in the Report menu (see “Viewing and
using report notebooks”). To add a report to a notebook, use Add To Notebook in
the Report menu (see “Adding a report to a notebook”). To create a notebook, use
New Notebook in the Report menu (see “Creating a new report notebook”).
