  • Write sections based on table of contents entry up to level nn—Enter the table of contents level after which to start a new HTML file.

Images Directory

Directory where images are located.

The images that Production Reporting uses for HTML reports include icons for alternate report formats (CSV, PDF, BQD) and the page navigation buttons. These images ship with SQR Production Reporting Studio, and are located by default in c:\Hyperion\products\biplus\common\SQR\images.

To replace the default images with your own images, store the new images in a separate directory and enter the path for that directory in the Images Directory field.SQR Production Reporting Studio passes this information to Production Reporting on the command line when it executes the report. Production Reporting then uses the specified directory to locate the images.

Compress HTML and related GIF files into ZIP archive

Compresses all the files created by the HTML generator and related GIF files into a single ZIP archive file. The file is given the same name as the report and is located in the same directory as the report.
