MATLAB Report Generator

Setup File Editor

You can use the Setup File Editor to select and organize the components that you want in your report. You can perform the following component operations using the Setup File Editor:

• Adding a Component
• Deleting a Component
• Activating a Component
• Deactivating a Component
• Moving a Component
• Cutting, Copying, and Pasting a Component

You can always undo your last change by selecting Undo from the Edit menu. There are five levels of undo (i.e., you can undo as many as your last five actions).

In order to create a valid setup file, you must nest child components inside an appropriate parent component. A parent component usually determines how or whether its child components will execute. Components -- By Category discusses parent/child relationships between components in the same class.

Setup File Outline

The outline of the current setup file is displayed in the left pane of the Setup File Editor. The outline contains all the components which will be included in the report. Child components are always shown indented under their parent component. A sample setup file outline is shown below.
