Section wizard

The Section Wizard allows to set filter parameters in order to include or exclude some sections from the report template based on the result of the filters in the context of the selected test result.

For example, if you have created a complex template, with sections containing controls that require data from different protocols. For example, section 1 contains HTTP related controls and section 2 contains VoIP SIP related controls. You can generate a report that includes only the relevant section for each type of test result, HTTP of VoIP SIP in this example. You can do that by using the filter settings in the Section Wizard. The report based on the HTTP test result will only contain section 1 and the report based on the VoIP SIP test result will only contain section 2.

You can also edit any section in the report template by using the Section Wizard.

You can open the Section Wizard by any of the following ways:

  1. In IxReporter select Insert and then Section.
  2. Select twice in rapid succession the section in the report designer.
  3. Select a section and then Wizard in the Designer menu.

Following are some of the basic settings available in the Section Wizard:

  1. Type the section title and section summary in the General window, and also select the option to include the section either in the summary report or detailed report, or include it as the cover page of the report template.
  2. In the Protocol Filters window, select the check box of the protocol, to include the current section in the report based on the current test result, when the protocol is present in the test result. You can select the filters to include all or any protocol either in running or configured state.
  3. In the Advanced Filters window, create your own filter criteria for the current section by combining conditions. Each condition can contain several filters.
  4. Select OK to close the wizard window.
