Ventana software support forum

I know this is a newbie question but:

I have read the help documentation and see I can create a custom report with the:REPORT keyword followed by my text and variables etc.

But how to do this? Where is the text editor or menu item? Where do I type this keyword. I have PLE PLus?

Thanks

There is no text editor in PLE+. You'll need to use some other text editor (such as Notepad++).

Thank you I use Notepad++ so easy.

But how once I create in notepad do I get it into Vensim model to get the data variables into the report?

Does anyone have a small .mdl file example that demonstrates the use of the :REPORT keyword please I can't find examples anywhere.

Have a look at the Vensim sample models,
C:\Users\Public\Vensim\Models\Sample\URBAN

This contains custom reports.

To get it into the model, just load the .vgd file in the Graphs tab of the Control Panel.

If you have existing custom graphs/tables/etc., the sequence you want is:
- Save As... to move the custom stuff embedded in the model into a separate .vgd file
- Edit the .vgd in Notepad (to modify the report)
