New header rows in Horizontal report TestStand 2012

ATEDJ · ‎02-07-2014

I need help getting additional information into the horizontal XML report.

Using: TS 2012, LV 2012, Windows 7

I don't know where to start... I've read through many if not all of the discussions and helps regarding adding new rows to the horizontal header. Most discussions don't apply to the 2012+ way of using plug-ins.

1. What callback in what sequence file needs to be modified? ModifyReportHeader shows up in several places. With the plug-ins I can't seem to find the correct location.

2. If I'm modifying a plug-in how do I pass my parameters to it? I can't seem to get my parameters to NI_ReportGeneration.seq

3. How do you modify horizontal.xsl to display the new parameters in the header? All the examples I find are for existing parameters and it doesn't seem to help.

Thank you,

Hi,

I know you mentioned you had looked through many discussions previously, but have you taken a look at the following KnowledgeBase Article?

https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YGlBCAW&l=en-US

It goes step-by-step and explains the modifications you will need to make to change the XML report header. This method should work fine with TestStand 2012 and 2013. You might also want to take a look at the following example:

I know it's been some time thank you for your patience. We all get pulled away for different activities from time to time.

Let's focus on the first issue:

I have tried the knowledge base and in TS 2012 the horizontal.xsl stylesheet is very different and you can't add the code the same way. Or so it seems.

I can't find any examples of how to modify the TS 2012 Horizontal.xsl stylesheet.
