General tab

Options	Description	Options available for
Coloring
Colorize repeating values	Switch between white and gray background if the value in this box has changed compared to the value above. For example, in the column for fiber tube (in a cable), the first twelve rows (located in tube 1) will be white, the next twelve gray and so on. This is a quick way to find the hierarchies of the objects.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Use standard product coloring	Used by default if no other option is selected.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Use state coloring	Apply coloring based on states. The coloring will then be in accordance with the state colors used in the map, in accordance with the settings in the Show states tool. Since these colors are normally quite dark, they are applied as font colors in the table.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Use coloring of changed objects	Apply changeset coloring by using the color for changed components specified in Settings > Preferences... > Color.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Trace path
Trace through patches and carrier connections	Uncheck this box to have tracing stop at patch. The last object visible is an ODF or terminal. Check the box if the tracing should continue.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Trace through branching objects	Uncheck this box to have tracing stop at branch objects (splitter, coaxial device). Check the box if the tracing should continue.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Show full trace	Used by default if no other option is selected.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Show only end points	Do not show any intermediate objects, and only show the object you start from plus the start and end points. This then becomes a form of disposition report.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services
Show only end point with splitters	Tick the box to generate a schema with only endpoints and splitters.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services
Show only end point with patching	Tick the box to generate a schema without splices.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services
Show only nearby connections	Only show the closest connections for the starting object. For line objects, this means that the nearest point and the next line are included at each end. For point objects, for each end, the nearest line and the next point are included instead.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Stop on cable/equipment w/ hierarchical level	When enabled, this option cuts the trace on the first cable or equipment (looking from the start object) with the selected hierarchical level.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services
Stop on node w/ hierarchical level	When enabled, this option cuts the trace on the first node (looking from the start object) with the selected hierarchical level.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services
Prune on cable/equipment w/ hierarchical level	When enabled, this option cuts the trace on the first cable or equipment (looking from the end object) with the selected hierarchical level.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services
Prune on node w/ hierarchical level	When enabled, this option cuts the trace on the first node (looking from the end object) with the selected hierarchical level.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services
Display options
Include duplicates	If fiber has been spliced, the report will adjust to include double trace result for the fiber.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Include connection/chain/service/customer	The group of columns for connection/chain/service/customer is included in its entirety.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Include unconnected traces	Includes unconnected traces when the report is generated.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Align end points to the sides	Adjust to the side so that all the endpoints end up in the same columns. If there are paths with different lengths in different rows, there will be empty columns "inside" the path.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services
Flip the result horizontally	Use this function to display the chain or trace in reverse order. When the result is presented from start to end in a table or diagram, the view is flipped so that the end point appears first and the starting point last.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Table options
Include attenuation calculations	Includes attenuation values in a separate column.	Opto
Include length calculation	Tick the box to add fiber path length columns visible in the table report, next to the dB loss columns.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Include empty columns	Includes empty columns in the report so they are not visible when it is generated.	Opto / Copper / Radio / Services / Ducts
Join traces one after another on the same rows		Services

Fields tab

The options found in the Fields tab correspond to which columns should be hidden and visible in the report. All settings are organized structurally from left to right, and all groups, object types, subtypes, and fields can be managed either collectively or individually.
