## Chapter 11: Creating Reports

When you upload files that derive from the CAE Model File base type to an EKM repository, EKM will automatically extract a simulation details report as a child object of the uploaded file, and display the report by default as HTML in the file list window. The report will also be generated when you add the file as a remote object, or synchronize it. From the display, you can choose to save the child report as a separate EKM report object so that you can act on it separately from its parent. Or, you can download the report to your local file system in different file formats. See Simulation Details Reports for more details.

A simulation details report contains a summary of key data such as model information and simulation setup, solution settings and results. For a `Workbench Project Archive File` (.wbpz), a more comprehensive report is created that contains a summary of the archive properties, all files contained within the project, design points, parameters, systems, and simulation details of relevant CAE files for each system associated with the project. See Workbench Project Reports for more information.

EKM also provides you with powerful tools for creating on-demand reports that are described in this chapter. You can create a Quick Compare report that applies default settings and compares objects based on their properties and/or report content. You can also create a customized Comparison Report that compares objects based on their properties, report content, charts, and folder contents. If you are viewing a process object, you can create a Process Report that provides information about tasks in the process.

Comparison reports and process reports are created using the (More) > Report menu and are saved upon creation. Reports that are displayed in the file list window as temporary objects or child objects of a parent CAE file can also be saved as separate EKM report objects so that they can be downloaded or acted on independently.

The Report menu also provides an action that enables you to create an Excel file report that contains exported properties for any object in a repository.

This chapter presents information on all of the different types of reports that are available in EKM. These include reports that you can create on-demand, as well as reports that are automatically generated. It also includes details on how to create an Excel spreadsheet report that contains exported properties for any object in the repository. The following topics are covered:

- Simulation Details Reports
- Comparison Reports
- Creating a Process Report
- Displaying a Report
- Saving a Report
- Downloading a Report
- Exporting Properties to an Excel File Report
