Write Report

Saves the report from Report Assembly as a PDF, an HTML file or an editable PowerPoint deck. Fed by a loop, it merges every report into one document.

Also known as: PDF, PowerPoint, render

How it works

Wire a Report Assembly node in and pick the Format: PDF (the default), HTML or PowerPoint. The File name takes the matching extension (report.pdf, report.html or report.pptx), and switching format swaps the extension for you when the name still carries the old one; Location is the project folder unless you choose another. The write fails if the file already exists unless you tick Overwrite if the file already exists.

PDF takes its page size, orientation and margins from the report's theme, edited through the Report Assembly node's Edit theme…. HTML is a standalone document, and wiring it into an Email node's body input sends the report as the email body. PowerPoint writes an editable 16:9 deck, one slide per layout page, with tables as real PowerPoint tables. Inside a loop, the file name can take a per-item token, and a writer fed by a loop merges every bundle into one document or deck. The Report tab under the canvas shows the written PDF or HTML; a deck opens in PowerPoint.

More in Reports

• Table Section — Puts a table in a report with a heading, optional commentary, a row cap, totals and highlighting. Number formats come from Format Table.
• Text Section — Adds a block of text to a report, such as an intro or notes. It can include live values from your data, filled in at run time.
• Image Section — Adds an image, such as a logo, product photo or site plan, to a report.
• Chart — Draws a chart from its input: bar, line, scatter, pie, histogram, box, heat map, KPI, treemap, funnel, waterfall and more. Set it up in the Chart tab, then place it in a report.
• Map — Draws the input's geometry as a map over an offline basemap, styled in the Map tab, ready to place in a report.
• Report Assembly — Takes the sections wired into it and arranges them on a layout into one report. Without a layout, each section gets its own full-width row.
