Report Generation Processing
The Report Options dialog box includes several options for controlling report processing.
Option Purpose
View report after
generation
View the report automatically. When report generation
finishes, the viewer associated with the report output
format displays the report.
Note: On Linux and Macintosh platforms, the report
output displays in Apache OpenOffice, which must be
installed in /Applications/OpenOffice.app.
To view the report manually, browse to the location
specified in the Report File Location section in the
Properties pane on the right, and open the file.
Auto save before
generation
Automatically save the report setup file before you
generate a report.
Compile model to report
on compiled information
Ensure that a report reflects compiled values.
By default, the Simulink Report Generator reports
uncompiled values of Simulink parameters. The
uncompiled values of some parameters, such as signal
data types, can differ from the compiled values used
during simulation.
This option causes the report generator to compile a
model before reporting on model parameters. After
generating the report, the report generator returns the
model to its uncompiled state.
Note: When you select this option, whenever report
generation requires simulating the model (for example,
the report includes a Model Simulation component),
the report generator uncompiles the model and then
recompiles the model, if necessary, to report on model
