Report Method Not Being Used When Automatic Reporting Results in Sequence

DavidM348

We are set up to analyze and print a report after each sample in our sequence. In preparing for this, we modified one of the included Excel templates and used MassHunter Quant to create a report method. When printed manually from Quant, the report shows everything as expected. However, when using automatic analysis and reporting in our sequence, the report doesn't contain the formatting we set in the report file (peak labels on the chromatogram). Also, the graphics files we set to be deleted after report generation are not being deleted. It appears that the report file we made is not being used. Our Excel template that we used for our report file and that we set in the sequence is definitely being used. I guess my question is how does automatic analysis/reporting know which report file to use? The report file does not seem to be referenced in the data analysis method (I searched the xml file for the report file name and it wasn't there), so not sure how this works?

Thanks!

    Hello again

    sorry i replied you with LC MS masshunter software , i didn't see your mention

    ok ,, For GC MS

    go to ( edit sequence )

    right click and select columns

    add new columns to your sequence ( DA path , DA file , DA result template )

    fill them correctly , and good luck

    don't forget to select & save your printing method from DA method ( printer or pdf or excel )

    please feed me back if it goes well ..

    Thanks again for your response!

    I have the DA method, path, and Excel report template in the sequence table. The problem is where to indicate the DA report method to use. The report method includes settings and formatting info for the graphics and other stuff (like labeling peaks on the chromatogram, deleting graphics after report generation, etc.). I thought the reporting method should be saved with the DA method, but it is not. Manually editing the DA method xml file by adding the path and name of the DA report method doesn't seem to do anything. The report prints using the correct formatting, graphics, etc. when manually generated from Quant, but not when using the automatic DA and reporting (see examples below).
