Clausi,

You can use the ModifyReportFooter Model Callback to append these variables to the end of the report.

The only thing you have to do is go to Edit->SequnceFile Callbacks.... and add the modify report footer call back.

This action will add the sequence callback to your sequence file.

If you go to the sequence and modify the input parameter 'ReportFooter' (String) the string will be appended to the report.

In your case you have to create a string containing the name and values of the properties you want to append.

unfortunately this will only work for the Text and HTML report formats.

I hope it helps.

For more information check the Appendix A of the TestStand Reference Manual.

HI Antonio,

Thanks for your suggestion.. I have tried to add the ModifyReportFooter callback.. In the parameter ReportFooter I set the value to 'Hello' but it never appears in the report (txt format) after completion.

The ModifyReportFooter callback also has a parameters called ReportOptions. Does it need any changes to enable the ReportFooter string to enter the report?

Regards

Claus,

You do not need to modify the Report Options.

What version of TestStand are you using?

I am attaching a TestStand 3.0 sequence that modifies the report footer.

I just append 'Test' at the end of the report.

Make sure to go to the Configure->Report Options... menu and set the Report Format to Text or HTML.

Regards.

Hi Antonio,

Thanks! Now I have it working.. It seems that I had made a wrong statement in the "Main" section..

Cool 🙂

Clausi -

Note that this solution only works when the sequence file is the client file, that is, it is the file that is called by the process model.  The client file has the ability to override the callback sequences defined in the model. If you wanted to include the file globals of a sequence from a second file that the first one calls, this solution will not work. 

If you wanted to add the file globals for an arbitrary file to the report per UUT and you wanted it to not show up in the middle of the report, you could extend the model to have a sequence that collects this type of information and it could add the information to the footer in the process model callback instead of by the client.  There are many ways to collect and achieve this though.
