How to create a IR Report with Method Information that prints the information only once per unique method name

Question

How do you limit the report to print out the method information only once in a sequence (once per unique method name)? Currently it is printing the method the same number of runs that are in the sequence, even though there is only one method used. It also prints out the Method Log only once.

Hi Dwight, I have checked what you have been trying to do with ryoboyle . I think the snippet had been designed to make sure that all method are correctly reported. And therefore, there is an internal group repeat set on the method ID version (which is always changing from one injection to the other). It would make more sense to have this group repeat on the Method Name. This is what I did by opening a report template in notepad for example, and modify the group repeat of the snippet. See attached file. If you want to use this group in your report. Follow the following steps: 1. Copy the RDL file attached to your ChemStation "REPSTYLE" folder. 2. Load this template in your Intelligent Reporting editor in the ChemStation 3. Select the surrounding group, and click right as described below: 4. Select "Save Composite Group", and give your name such as "Audit trail DA method" 5. After saving this composite group, you will see this appearing on your machine in the reporting item tree, under "Composite Groups" 6. You will now be able to use it in any report template that you have, by dragging and dropping them into the report templates. Note: You can use this method with any group you find interesting in any report template... That way you can define a personalize list of reporting snippets you can use for your report template design. These composite groups are saved in the windows user folders, under: \Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Agilent Technologies\Agilent ChemStation\2.118.0.0\IntelligentReporter\CompositeGroups. I hope this helps. Regards, Pierre
