In many documents, you might want to include a report generated from the Reports tool. The formatting of reports and plots depends on the formatter used and whether this formatter is supported by the system.
Reports from the Reports tool are textual. They have predefined formats determined by embedded formatting instructions. For example, assume that you write a template that calls a report (such as the property report in the sample template), and that you are working with a supported formatter. When you execute the template, the Reports tool automatically embeds the formatting instructions appropriate for the attached formatter within the generated report. This means that the report that appears in the resulting output segments contains embedded formatting commands. Passing the files to the designated formatter results in a document displaying the report in its predefined format. For more information on reports, see INCLUDE.
