XSL Transformation

This feature allows you to create user outputs for your physical models very fast. The output can be in any format that supports XSL language - e.g. HTML, PDF, CSV, text or XML.

You select among various XSL templates. Each template generates a different output (HTML, CSV etc.) Advanced users can customize the templates and modify their content to generate an output that will fit their needs.

You can generate the following reports or outputs:

• Comments (HTML)
• Complete XML (XML)
• Entities (CSV)
• Notes (HTML)
• Tablespaces (HTML)
• To Do Report (HTML)

To generate any of the outputs

Select Model | Generate Report | Reports / XSL Transformation.
