Saving Reports as HTML Files

*  To save an SPF file as an HTML file, select File, then Save as HTML.

When you save a file as an HTML file, Production Reporting generates Enhanced HTML. Enhanced HTML produces reports in which HTML content is fully formatted with version 1.1 XHTML tags.

OptionDescription

Scale Report From

Increases or decreases the report display. Enter an integer value between 50 and 200. For example, 50 displays the report at 50% of its default size.

Demand Paging

Defines the number of report pages in each HTML file. With Demand Paging, you can avoid downloading an entire report in the browser. Instead, you can break a report into smaller sections for better performance. The following options are available:

  • Write the entire report as one file—Keeps all the report pages in one HTML file.

  • Write a separate file every nn pages—Specifies the number of pages after which to start a new HTML file.

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

Use Cascading Style Sheets

Defines whether to use cascading style sheets in HTML reports. To use cascading style sheets, your browser must implement HTML 3.2 or higher.

French Navigation Bar

Defines the language for the navigation bar that appears at the top of an HTML report when the report displays in your browser. If you leave the box unchecked, the navigation bar appears in English.

If your report output spans multiple files, the bottom of each file contains the following navigation hyperlink visible from within a web browser:

The image shows the Continue with Next message that appears if report output spans multiple files.

Generate comma-delimited file

Creates a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file in addition to the generated HTML file. When you select this option, an image with hyperlink to CSV file appears in the HTML Navigation Bar.

Images Directory

Specifies the directory where images are located. (Charts references in the SPF file are rendered as GIF files.)

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

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. Production Reporting uses the specified directory to locate the images.
