Drawing a table using content from report data

Drawing a table using content from report data

Tables can be created with content from linked report data. When you insert the table, you specify the options for extracting data from entities located in one or more drawings. The number and size of rows and columns of the new table are determined automatically based on the report data.

Later, the table contents can be updated automatically to include the latest report data.

For more details about extracting data and creating reports, see Reporting information about entities.
