XML report opens automatically after ending the sequence

[Norick17]

Hello

I am using TestStand 2020 (64bit). When running a sequence with several UUT I get for each UUT an .xml report which automatically is opening right after the sequence has finished. 

Question:

How can I prevent that TestStand automatically opens the .xml file? Unfortunatelly I have not found anything in the settings.

Thanks in advance

Do you want to turn off result processing? Or just prevent the report from being automatically opened?

Opening the report automatically is the default behavior of the process model when executed either by the "Test UUTs" or "Single Pass" execution entry point.

If you use "Run MainSequence" instead, you won't see the report pop up, because a report won't be made if you run your sequence that way.

If you want to turn off displaying a report, or turn off report processing entirely, you can do that through the menu Configure»Result Processing

Then uncheck the box under Display to turn displaying the report off after an execution completes.

However, even with Display unchecked, after the execution completes, the execution view will still open to the report viewer, but it will not open the report file:

If you uncheck the box under Enabled, you'll disable report generation entirely, but again, the report viewer will still open, but display "Report generation is disabled"

If you want to stop the default behavior of the process model from opening up the report view, I think you might have to do some more invasive modifying of your process model or the ModelSupport.seq, which I would recommend against unless you really know what you're doing.
