    1-How can I save the SORT, USER POST, and SQUEEZE setting when creating my Report Format File Setup?

     

    2-The UPDATE EXISTING in the Table Generation Setup is always grayed out meanwhile there is a table in the project. What seem to be the issue? I don't want to do it all over again.

     

    3-I want the internal jumper to show in the jumper chart but for some reason it is not.I created a jumper layer and also

       use the Add/Edit Internal Jumper but it is still not showing.

     

    I will appreciate any help. Thanks for all the guidance.

    Justin, the update being greyed out can indicate that the existing table is in a different format than the new report.  Be sure you run the new report using the same report format file that was used to create the existing report.  Once you configure a report the way you want (sort, fields to report, justification, etc.) save it as a report format for re-use.  Report formats save with a .set extension to your User folder by default.  Click the Format button to load a report format that has been previously saved.  If you are going to insert a new style of report, delete the existing report since there will be no update option.

    I have my report generator looking the way I want it - where or how do I go from here to save it for re-use? I will also like to create a set file for this.

    At the lower left of the change report format dialog is the button to save as a report format.

    The jumper chart appears in a tabular terminal strip. These can be inserted via Terminal Strip Editor or by using the Table Generator.

    I don't know your workflow so it's hard to say why internal jumpers aren't displaying.  I just verified that it works.  See attached.

     

    You must assign internal jumpers via block properties.  It is not the same as using the Edit jumper command.  That jumpers terminal to terminal.  You can do both of course.  You can have internal jumpers from level to level and jumpers from terminal to terminal.

    I am not talking about terminal strip terminals but internal jumpers in a Parametric PLC. Lets say you jumped IN 0 and COM; what will you do to show this jumpers in the jumper chart?

     

    Thanks again
