Examples

Create Custom Report Explorer-based Reporter

Create a custom Report Explorer-based reporter and its associated default templates. In this example, the derived class file is created at the specified path under the current working folder. In this example, the path to the MyRptExplRptr.m class file is <current working folder>/new_rptexpl_rptr/@MyRptExplRptr/MyRptExplRptr.m. The default RptFile templates are in the <current working folder>/new_rptexpl_rptr/@RptExplRptr/resources/templates folder.

import slreportgen.report.*
RptFile.customizeReporter('new_rptexpl_rptr/@MyRptExplRptr');

After editing this new class file, you can use it as your RptFile reporter.

rptr = MyRptExplRptr();
