Reports are template files that are used to display the filtered information from the Tekla PowerFab database.

You can access most reports through the active ribbon tab menu in the module that you have opened. These reports tend to be for a specific estimate, purchase order, and production job, for instance.

You can create different kinds of reports and filter the items in the reports in several ways.

You can view the reports, print them, or export them to another file format.

You can create either Crystal or Stimulsoft reports. Information on the editor can be found on the report types website. For more information, see:

• Crystal Reports
• Stimulsoft

When running reports, they open in the Tekla PowerFab Report Viewer application. The application sometimes opens on a different monitor or remains minimized on the taskbar.
