MassHunter Qualitative Analysis Software - Building custom reports using report builder

Question

I have this workflow here which includes "extracting additional chromatogram" followed with "Print custom report". 
 One screenshot of "extracting additional chromatogram" is as follows where I wanted MS Chromatogram (Integrate) i.e. SIM ions chromatogram. E.g. if I have three SIM ions in my method, I am able to see the chromatograms for those three SIM ions when I chose this option.

However, while I could see on screen, I could not "call" them out in my custom report. My custom report could only show TIC chromatogram which I do not want. I want to see the SIM chromatograms for my SIM ions. 
 I am clueless as to whether MassHunter Qualitative Software indeed has this option to print "extract additional chromatograms" chromatograms into the custom report. 
 I do not mind using expressions as long as I have an answer to how to write them. 
 Thank you for the answers and I greatly appreciate them.

Hello hts123_ , 
 From what I can find it is not possible to include SIM chromatograms in Qual Report Builder reports. Qual doesn't appear to have any compound workflows for SIM data so there is not an easy way to create compounds. Even if you do, the SIM chromatogram is not considered a compound chromatogram and it still doesn't print. 
 One way to print the chromatograms you want is to create an EIC of the SIM signal, since EICs are printed in reports. The easiest way to do this is to change your SIM additional chromatogram to an EIC and then click the Change button. 
 
 If you don't want the TIC to print you can either delete it from the extracted signals or edit the template as mentioned in the following post to filter for only EICs.

 Using <ShortTitle> Contains EIC will only print the EICs.
