Create Report Control Blocks

Create Report Control element

The publisher plugin maintained in the OpenSCD organization and part of many distributions is the best tools to do this job. In the OpenSCD distribution, you can find this editor plugin under the name Publisher. To create a ReportControl element, navigate to the Report radio button (left upper corner) to open the report control editor. Here you can see on the left hand side all existing report control blocks in the file, sorted by the IEDs. You can filter to find the report control as well as IED or other elements that are on the path of the report.

Next to the inactive IED list item, you can see the Add Report Control button. When you click on it, a new report control is created, with a dummy name and without any user content.

From there on, you can edit the report control in the same way is with an existing report control element as described here edit report

Add data set:

A new report is not linked to any data set, yet (datSet is not existing). You can add a new data set to the report in the data set pane Similar to a new report control element, the data set with minimum information is added and you can then manipulate the data set as described Edit Data Set.
