Run a Job File Report

Create custom reports (and file formats) by applying style sheets to .job or .jxl job files in the Job File Generator pane. This gives you the flexibility to generate a variety of reports types from a single project's content.

Note: Style sheets are applied to the imported job files only; changes made to projects within this software do not appear in the report. Style sheets are not translated.

To customize and run job file reports:

Select Job Report Generator.
The Job Report Generator pane displays.
Do either of the following to select the job file for which you want to run a report:
- If the file has been imported into the project, select it in the Job file list.
- If the file has not been imported into the project, click the Browse icon. The Open dialog displays, allowing you to locate and select the file.
Click the Browse icon located next to the Style sheet box. The Open dialog displays, allowing you to locate and select the style sheet file you want to use for the report.
Some default style sheet files are installed with the software in C:\Program Files\(product_name)\(product_name)\Support\(language_name).
If you do not find the style sheet file you want in this folder or in any other folder you might be using for style sheet files, click the Style sheet web site link to open a support page in your Web browser. You can download the style sheet file from this page to your local drive. Then, click the Browse icon located next to the Style sheet box to locate and select the newly downloaded style sheet file for use with the report. You can reuse any downloaded style sheet file as often as necessary.
Confirm the name for the report in the Save as box. The report will be saved in the same folder as the selected job file.
Edit survey report options in the Settings group as necessary.
Note: Changes you make to the report settings are not saved in the style sheet file.
If you do not need to view the output immediately, uncheck View Output File.
Do one of the following:
- Click Apply to run the job file report and keep the Job Report Generator pane open.
- Click OK to run the job file report and close the Job Report Generator pane.
If View Output File is checked, the job file report displays in your Web browser.
Click File > Save As in the report if you want to keep it.
