Customized conditional reports

  • April 30, 2013

I'm currently trying to loop with a customized HTML report through my document and format the elements depending on their category.

I start with a query and loop through the hierarchy with relationshipsdetail (displayed only until Level 2 below). What I need is the red
part of the report, i.e. how to differentiate between the elements once I found one. If I put the field[Category] within the filter, sorting by
section does not properly work.

This is how it looks like:

<%beginrelationshipsdetail Query[ ( (item.segment) and ( (field[ID] = <%<%builtin ID%>%>) or (walk[<%builtin Contained By%>] <%<%builtin ID%>%>) ) ) ]%>

<!-- we are the top segment -->

<%beginrelationshipsdetailL2 <%builtin References%>.Always follow, <%builtin Contains%>%><%filter%>((item is segment) or (item is node))<%endfilter%>

if (field[Category] = "Comment")

//do something

if (field[Category] = "Architectural Element")

//do something

if (field[Category] = "Heading")

//do something

<%endrelationshipsdetailL2%>

<%endrelationshipsdetail%>

I'd appreciate if anyone would share an idea how to distinguish the different elements.

    Hi,

    I finally found a solution that uses queries and filters based on the Contains and References relationships. As it uses information from the shared item, sorting by section can be used. The solutions looks like

    <%beginrelationshipsdetailL2 <%builtin References%>.Always follow, <%builtin Contains%>%><%filter%>(((item is segment) or (item is node)))<%endfilter%>

    <%beginrelationshipsdetailL3 <%builtin References%>%><%filter%>((item is shareditem) and (field[Shared Category] == "Heading"))<%endfilter%>

    <%RelationshipL2 Summary%>

    <%RelationshipL2 ALM_Text%>

    <%endrelationshipsdetailL3%>

    <%beginrelationshipsdetailL3 <%builtin References%>%><%filter%>((item is shareditem) and (field[Shared Category] == "Comment"))<%endfilter%>

    <%RelationshipL2 Summary%>

    <%RelationshipL2 ALM_Text%>

    <%endrelationshipsdetailL3%>

    <%beginrelationshipsdetailL3 <%builtin References%>%><%filter%>((item is shareditem) and (field[Shared Category] == "Architectural Element"))<%endfilter%>

    <%RelationshipL2 ID%>: <%RelationshipL2 Summary%>

    <%RelationshipL2 ALM_Text%>

    <%endrelationshipsdetailL3%>

    Hi Marcus,

    I assume you are planning to create a Document content report that uses differnt formats for the different types of content-categories.

    I had the same idea some years ago. Unfortunately there is no "straight" solution for that .

    The problem is, that the Integrity report generator does not support any conditional structures apart from filters. But if you use several filters, you will loose the correct "sequence" of items.

    Nevertheless, there is hope, meaning 2 possible solution to reach your intendet report.

    A: use javascript to "reformat" your content in the browser, after the actual report generation (this works to some extend, but is limited in formating options and the performance is bad on large documents)

    B: create a xml report instead of a html and let the XSL transformation handle the different category separartely.

    e.g.

    the report looks like

    ...

    <REPORT>
    <ISSUES>
    <%beginrelationshipsdetail Query[ ( (item.segment) and ( (field[ID] = <%<%builtin ID%>%>) or (walk[<%builtin Contained By%>] <%<%builtin ID%>%>) ) ) ]%>

    <ISSUE>
    <LEVEL>0</LEVEL>
    <TYPE><%Relationship <%builtin Type%>%></TYPE>
    <CATEGORY><%Relationship <%builtin Shared Category%>%></CATEGORY>
    <RQ_TEXT><![CDATA[<%Relationship RQ_Text%>]]></RQ_TEXT>
    </ISSUE>
    <%beginrelationshipsdetailL2 <%builtin References%>.Always follow, <%builtin Contains%>%><%filter%>(((item is segment) or (item is node)))<%endfilter%>

    <ISSUE>
    <LEVEL>1</LEVEL>
    <TYPE><%RelationshipL2 <%builtin Type%>%></TYPE>

    <CATEGORY><%RelationshipL2 <%builtin Shared Category%>%></CATEGORY>

    <RQ_TEXT><![CDATA[<%RelationshipL2 RQ_Text%>]]></RQ_TEXT>

    </ISSUE>

    .....

    and you have a XSLT that looks somehow like this

    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="html"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="report/ISSUES"/>
    </body>
    </html>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="ISSUES">
    <hr/>
    <xsl:for-each select="//ISSUE[TYPE='Input'] | //ISSUE[TYPE='Requirment'] | //ISSUE[TYPE='Specification'] | //ISSUE[TYPE='Testcase']">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="ISSUE">
    <script type="text/javascript">

    <?c check the argument that controlls the visibility of Headings?>
    <xsl:call-template name="Heading_Issue"/>
