This functionality is available in iGrafx Process and above.

In a simulation report, data is organized in collections of related simulation statistics called report elements, which you can view as a table or graph.

You can view added report elements without rerunning the simulation. However, if you change the process map or scenario, you must run the simulation again to view the new results.

Task

Procedure

Add a report element

  1. Right-click the Report window and choose Add Element.

  2. Use the series of dialog boxes to specify statistics, the title of the report element, column labels and row legends, filtering options, and how to format and sort the statistics.

Edit a report element

  1. In the Report window, double-click a report element.
    or
    Right-click the report element and choose Edit Report.

  2. Use the resulting Edit Report Element dialog box to modify statistics display, title of the report element, column labels and row legends, filtering options, and how to format and sort the statistics.

Convert a report element to graph form

  1. In a Report window, double-click a report element.

  2. In the resulting Edit Report Element dialog box, click the Format tab.

  3. Choose Display As Graph and click the Graph Style button.

Add a new report element as a graph

  1. Right-click the Report window and choose Add Element.

  2. Choose settings for each page of the wizard, and click Finish to complete it.

Modify a graph

  1. Right-click a graph in the Report window and choose Edit Graph.

  2. Change graph characteristics in the resulting Graph Control dialog box.

Specify which statistics appear

In the Report window, double-click a report element and click the Statistics tab.

For a list of statistics, their names, and abbreviations, see Process Simulation Statistics Reference.

Define row and column labels

In the Report window, double-click a report element and click the Structure tab to select labels for the statistics that appear in the selected report element.

Refine display of data

In the Report window, double-click a report element and click the Filters tab.

For example, to view selected resource statistics by resource and by swimlane, filter the data by swimlane to define multiple report elements that show resource statistics by resource per a single swimlane.

Format statistics

In the Report window, double-click a report element and click the Format tab to sort the statistics in the selected report element, and specify time units, number formats, and other display options.
