Report Builder

Vibration Test Reporting

Generating professional vibration test reports has never been easier. VibrationVIEW provides default report templates or laboratories can customize their documents to meet test standards or customer requests. The built-in Report Builder previews changes as you make them, simplifying the customization process.

Report Options

• Microsoft docx (includes option to export as PDF)
• HTML
• Microsoft Excel

Report Builder

With the Report Builder in VibrationVIEW, you do not need to be a designer to create polished vibration test reports. The feature previews the working design and updates automatically to parameter adjustments. You can open the program while the test runs and make changes or schedule to view/save a report at the end of a test.

This built-in word processor streamlines the report generation process, eliminating the need to generate, review, and edit reports in different programs.

Features

• Preview a report before generating a docx or PDF file
• Edit a report and preview changes (switch between codes and results)
• Update report to reflect changes to the test/data file
• Access relevant text editor commands such as styles and page layout
• Copy-and-paste graphs and images from the test/data file
• Save a report as a template for future use
• Format graphs with responsive scaling options

Multi-document Reporting

Use Report Builder to create multi-document reports, ideal for laboratories that run multiple tests. The program features an optimized load time for quick performance no matter the number of files.

Multi-doc Options

• Copy and paste the content of multiple report files into one report
• Create a report comprised of multiple files by appending multiple .vvtemplate reports
• Insert report parameters from multiple saved data files into one report
• Select an active data file from a drop-down list when editing a report with more than one data file

Graph Formatting

The graph format options in the Report Builder allow you to size and position graphs easily. A scaling factor adjusts the text size for legibility, no matter the graph size.

Report Parameters

VibrationVIEW generates a report using mail merge-type processing and provides a list of supported report parameters. The program reads the template file, substitutes data values and graphs for the report parameters, and writes the resulting data to an output file.

The Report Parameters dialog includes the report parameters and their description, related test value, and reference, if applicable. Users can search/sort/filter the parameter list using the description or parameter name.
