kristen.sensabaughIn order to document a report template definition and calculation formulas on paper you can use an undocumented tool being installed as part of OpenLAB CDS.
- Search your installation directory for TemplateDocumentation.exe
OpenLAB CDS ChemStation: \Chem32\CORE
OpenLAB CDS EZChrom: \Program Files\Agilent Technologies\EZChrom
OpenLAB Data Analysis: \Program Files\Agilent Technologies\OpenLAB Data Analysis\Bin\Reporting
- Double-click TemplateDocumentation.exe
- A file open dialog opens where you can browse to the RDL template file
The output file shows a schematic arrangement of boxes representing the report items and their location in the template. Each box contains a reference number and and details sections describing the content of each box and the related expressions.
You may also start the tool from the command line offering you additional options:
- Search your CDS installation directory for Agilent.OpenLab.Reporting.RdlDescriptor.exe (in case of OpenLAB CDS ChemStation this is\Chem32\CORE)
- Start a windows command prompt and CD to the directory where Agilent.OpenLab.Reporting.RdlDescriptor.exe is located
- Start the tool with one or more of the following valid Arguments:
/inputTemplate ARG : file from which to generate a description (mandatory)
/outputPath ARG : directory where to put the generated RDLC file
/pageSize ARG: output page size ('A4' or 'Letter', defaults to A4)
/generatePdf: generate also a PDF file
/auditTrail: include an audit trail section
/help: display this message
