Generating a type definition report

To generate a type definition report file:

1. In the Type Tree editor of the Design Server, right-click a type in the type tree, and click Generate Type Definition Report.
   The Generate Report window opens.
2. Click Browse and specify in the Save As window, the file name, and path in which you want to generate the file.
   If you choose to generate the report to an existing output file, click Yes at the prompt that gives you the option to replace the file.
   1. To change the default current location in which to save the type definition report file, select a different location in the Save in list.
   2. To change the default type definition report file name, enter File name.
   After you click Save, the path and file name are displayed in the Output file name field of the Generate Report window.
3. Under Type Definition Options, click the options that represent the information you want the report to include.
4. Click Generate.
   The Generate Type Definition Report window opens and displays the progress of the generate type definition report operation. The window remains open and the progress of the operation continues to display until the operation completes. There is an option available for the operation to run in the background. The reason is so that you can continue to access the Design Server graphical user interface (GUI). If the operation is long-running, you might want to select this option.
   The operation writes the type definition to the output file that you specified based on the options that you selected.
