Create Setup File Using the Report Explorer

If the Report Explorer is not already open, from the MATLAB Toolstrip, in the

Apps tab, in the Database Connectivity and Reporting section, click Report

Generator.

In the Report Explorer, use one of these approaches:

• Select File > New.

• On the Report Explorer toolbar, click the new template button.

The Outline pane displays a new setup named Unnamed, as a child of the Report

Generator node.

Create Setup File Programmatically

To create a setup file programmatically (from the MATLAB command line), use the

setedit command. For example, assuming a setup named myreport does not already

exist in the current directory, use the following command:

setedit myreport.rpt
