Today, I will show you how to insert a model graphic into your report. All models of the selected groups should be output as a graphic.
First of all, you must insert a new subsection in the repetition area.
Right-click in the repetition area of the subsection of the Selected groups query, and select Insert/Section here.
Click on Next and select the Model list (filterable by type) item under Items of: Selected groups and click on the Next button. Now you can select a model type (if you want to output only a special model) under Model types in the Parametergroup box. In our example, all model types are output. If you want to include subfolders, you must enable the Recursiveoption. Select Name in the Sort by selection box. Click on the Finish button.
A subsection is inserted with a query for all models of the selected groups.
Now insert the model name as a heading. To do this, enter the text "Model name:" in the repetition area of the new subsection, then add a data field.
Select Name under Items of: Selected groups.Model list (filterable by type), then click on Next and Finish. A heading with the respective model name is inserted.
Insert a line break behind the heading, and then insert a data field with the Graphic element under the heading.
Now your report outputs all model graphics of your selected groups.
The output of the report may look like this:
Make sure to head over to the table of contents for my sequel on reporting with ARIS using the WYSIWYG editor.

I am following your tutorials and there seems to be a problem with one of the graphics in this one. It comes after the line "Insert a line break behind the heading, and then insert a data field with the Graphic element under the heading." I was wondering if this was just occuring with me or there is something wrong with the article. If it is me would it be possible to send me what is missing as I am creating a lwp for my self. Thank you for helping to make my life a lot easier.
Hi Scott,
it looks like that something went wrong uploading the picture, thanks for the hint!
Just a short hint:
To get a better output insert a line break behind the graphic, and then insert a text field with Page break under the graphic :).

Hi Eva,
Great article, however I see that you've skipped directly to step #3. What is the Assigned Data dialog box for and how do I use it?

Hi Ganesh,
Yes, you are right. I only have described step 2. Here is the missing screenshot for the dialog:
You need step #2 to get the model list of the selected groups. In this step you can, for example, select that you want the model list or the object list. If you have selected the item you want to analyze, you can define the selection in the next step (step #3). For example, you can restrict the selection so that only the EPCs that are available in the selected groups will be shown.

Hello. I have an EPC and it's to big. How can I do to insert this in my report and display it in many pages as much as necessary?? In real size?
Thank you!!!
Dear Adriana,
Instead of replying on very old posts I'd like to recommend you to ask your questions in new posts. That will increase the chance that more community members would see your post.
Please add to your questions always which product and version you are using.
Cheers
