Generate report

You can use a report, for example, to collect database content and group it according to specific aspects, output the relationships between database elements, generate comparison tables, or display multiple uses of database items. You can also use reports to change database content, such as entering attribute values or correcting the layout of models.

You can generate and download a report for the open model or for selected objects.
