Project pages are managed in the page structure of the project using structure identifier levels. When generating reports, EPLAN analyzes the project data and displays it in report pages. These pages are sorted into the page structure of the project.

You use the page sorting to define which structure identifiers generate their own report blocks. When generating a table of contents for instance, the "Total" page sorting generates a comprehensive table of contents for the complete schematic documentation, whereas the page sorting "Function designation" generates a separate table of contents for each function designation. For instance, the following functions are possible:

• You can create a comprehensive reporting block for the entire project.
• You can create a separate reporting block for each structure identifier level of an identifier block.
• You can create a separate reporting block for each structure identifier level of several identifier blocks.

  Example:

  You have specified Function designation + location designation page sorting for the "Table of contents" report type by means of the commands File > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Reports > Output to pages. EPLAN uses this setting to create the following report blocks:

  • A separate table of contents for each structure identifier level of the Function designation identifier block. Therefore, this happens every time the function designation changes.
  • A separate table of contents for each structure identifier level of the Location designation identifier block. Therefore, this happens every time the location designation changes.
• You can create one comprehensive reporting block for the complete project, and additionally, one or more identifier blocks for each structure identifier level.

  Example:

  You have specified the page sorting Total + Function designation + Location designation for the "Table of contents" report type by means of the commands File > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Reports > Output to pages. EPLAN uses this setting to create the following report blocks:

  • A comprehensive table of contents for the total project.

  • A separate table of contents for each structure identifier level of the Function designation and Location designation identifier blocks. Therefore, this happens every time the function designation and location designation change.
• You can create a separate reporting block every time the component property "Output group" changes.
