Run a Point List Report

Generate a Point List to see a simple summary of the coordinates, along with other data, for each point in your project.

Note: This report is also one of several reports with a predefined template that you can modify to create a new custom report. See below.

To generate and save the report:

  1. Optionally, select the points you want to include in the report.

    If you do not select any points, all points are included in the report.

  2. To generate the report:
    • Select Reports > Report Options in the Quick Access Toolbarand double-click Point List.
    • With one or more points selected, right-click, and select Export from the context menu.

    Depending on your selection in the View in drop-down list in the Report Options command pane (see below), the report displays either on the Report View tab or in a Web browser window.

    You can click any link in the report to select the linked object in Trimble Business Center.

  3. To save the report, do one of the following:
    • If you are viewing the report on the Report View tab, click the Save icon on the tabtoolbar and select to select to save as an Excel spreadsheet file, Acrobat PDF file, or Word file.
    • If you are viewing the report in a Web browser, use the browser's File > Save As feature.

      Note: This is the only way to revisit a report without regenerating it.

To change report settings:

  1. Select Reports > Report Options in the Quick Access Toolbar.
  2. In the Reports list, select Point List.
  3. In the Settings section, select options as necessary.

    You can specify the type of coordinates (grid, local, or global) and the type of data to display, including quality control information such as scale factors and convergence angles. The View in drop-down list allows you to select whether to display the report on the Report View tab or in a Web browser window.

  4. When you are done, click the Apply or OK button.

To create a custom Point List Report from a template:

If you want the report to include different data or a different layout, such as each point's description1 and description2 (text can be added in the Properties pane), follow the steps in Create and Edit Customized Report Templates.
