Reporting on a single attribute
In Assets, you can create a report on a single attribute.
Creating reports including single attributes requires a little bit more configuration.
1. Create a report and add an expression.
2. Add a function. In the Functions list, three new entries are available:
◦ attributeAsDateTime
◦ attributeAsNumber
◦ attributeAsString
The data type of the attribute included in the report determines which of these functions you must select:
◦ attributeAsDateTime can be used for attributes of the type Date, Time or DateTime.
◦ attributeAsNumber can be used for attributes of the type Integer or Decimal.
◦ attributeAsString can be used for attributes of the type Single-line text, Multiline text and drop-down.
When you add such a function, in the Expression panel at the bottom, the function is added including the Attributes field.
3. You can then add the individual attributes, for example: attributeAsString('Base assets'.Attributes, "color")
The code of the attribute is case insensitive (in this example: "color" could be "Color").
4. Save your report and click Preview & print.
Your report including the individual attribute is shown on the screen.
