  • Variable:

    With double-click on a line under "Variable" a list field with the following input options opens:

    • Options for variable type "ERP":

      The ERP variables from the table are read and displayed in the list field. Select one of the displayed variables or enter yourself a value.

    • Options for variable type "Table":

      The variables of the characteristic attribute table are read and displayed in the list field. Select one of the displayed variables or enter yourself a value.

  • Labeling:

    Enter a label in the input field. It will be displayed in the report later.

  • Unit:

    Optionally you can select a unit in the list field.

    If the variable has no own unit, the selected unit is displayed.

    If the variable has a unit, the value is converted - if needed. (The conversion is only possible for the type "Table".)

    Example:

    The diameter in the table is displayed in "inch". You have selected "mm" in the list field. -> The value is automatically converted from "inch" to "mm".
