Creating a Report

I have no Javascript experience or any other programming experience. Just thought I would get that stated right at the beginning. So if I can do this report using the restrictive wizard this would be a bonus or get the script and then revert back to the wizard format idyllic.

I need to create a report and need all your expert help to guide me. I will try to explain the structure I want the report to take and hopefully someone will know what I need to do to accomplish this. I have a number of these reports as I am in charge of the governance of our models.

The report I want to create will start at the group level and list everything in it (and report back if there is nothing in it) then navigate down into the sub groups and report on what is stored within these. So to clarify if I have groups 1, 2 & 3 with sub groups 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 3.2, & 3.2.1 the report format I want back will be 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 3.1, 3.2 & 3.2.1

Then I want the report to state:

Model name
Group location
Sub Group location
Path
Creator
Owner
Last Change
Last User
Version
GUID
Date Created
Status
Model Type

or if there is nothing in the group then:

Nothing found / null
Group Location
Sub group location

Hi Scott,

I'm happy to finally see you posting here!

What you describe in your request above should be feasible with the WYSIWYG report editor. Basically, you iterate over the group structure and output the information you listed above for each group.

I don't believe someone will post a step-by-step guide how to create exactly this report. I think you should first try on your own and post if you run into specific problems.

Dr Sebastian

Thanks for your reply. I have had a go and thus the posts. I have spent days on trying to figure out javascript using online tutorials and trying to use the wizard which does not make much sense to me. You state you iterate over the group structure could you expand on this so that I have an understnding on what I need to do to get started? I have kind of structured a report using cannabilised bits of existing reports but don't know how to get the columns I want from scratch or how to get the report to sort on the group and sub group structure or report there is nothing in the group to ensure that the report structure is not compromised

Hi Scott,

our scripting expert Ms. Eva Klein will start next week with a set of tutorials about the WYSIWYG editor. I hope this will help you to get started. Watch the ARIS Reports & Macros group for the posts.

Hi Scott,

I just wanted to draw your attention to the latest article in the sequel of using the ARIS WYSIWYG editor. This article focuses on iterating over a list of groups and outputting content of those groups. I think this comes very close to what you try to achieve with your report.
