# Report Panel

Open the Report panel by clicking the table icon at the top left of your screen or by using the <kbd>Shift</kbd> <kbd>R</kbd> shortcut.

When opening this panel for the first time, the grouping and filtering rules that were last used in the [Browse panel](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-application/querying-and-reporting/browse-panel) will be used here. You can change the configuration or edit the current one by clicking the Preset dropdown menu in the top left corner of the panel. You can find more information about groups and filters in [this article](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-application/querying-and-reporting/browse-panel) about the Browse panel. Browse panel configurations can be reused in the Report panel.

The following columns will be available in the table:

* **Structure tree**\
  This displays the objects in your model, structured using customizable grouping and filtering rules. To change this structure, click the Preset dropdown menu in the top left corner of the panel.  Double-click an item to select the associated objects in your model.
* **Quantity**, along with their **Unit** and **Measurement**\
  For each item (row) in the report panel you can calculate a combined measurement of all objects in that row. The default measurement definition that is used is *Count* (*"how many objects are there of this type/with this property/of this class..."*), with the following exceptions:

  * If all objects within that item are either Curtain Walls, Roofs or Walls, the default measurement will be set to *Net Area*.
  * If all objects within that item are either Beams, Footings, Slabs or Columns, the default measurement will be set to *Net Volume*.
  * If all objects within that item are either Duct Segments, Flow Segments, Distribution Flow Elements or Cable Carrier Segments, the default measurement will be set to *Length*.

  You can always change the Measurement and Unit of a table item by clicking the respective buttons indicated in grey. To get visual feedback how a certain quantity is calculated, you can select one or more rows, and under the ellipsis icon at the end of the row, click *Quantities Preview*. If one or more quantities were not able to be calculated, a warning triangle will be displayed, and the quantities preview will indicate which objects are causing the issue. A spinning circle means that the quantity is currently being calculated - this may take a while for large selections.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Hint:** is the user interface slow while the report panel is open? This may be due to the background calculation of quantities in your model. You can either wait for the calculations to finish (once calculated these measurements will be stored so next time this will go much faster), **or** you can hit the **Escape** key to cancel all calculations. You can restart calculations again by clicking the ellipsis icon in the top right of the panel and clicking *Recalculate all*.
{% endhint %}

* **Properties** (optional)\
  You can add property columns to your report by editing the current configuration and clicking the + icon next to *Columns*. Any property currently used in the model can be added to or removed from the table. If a table item contains multiple objects with different values for a given property, these property values will be listed separated by a comma.&#x20;
* **Color** **Override** (optional)\
  For each item in the table you can apply a temporary color override, by selecting the row and under the ellipsis icon clicking the *Colorize* button. If you have no rows selected, you can instead choose to colorize all, which will apply a unique color to each row in the panel.\
  The colorize button will temporarily override the color of the geometry in the selected item(s), allowing you to get quick visual feedback of the geometry contained in a single table item.&#x20;

To summarize with an example, the image below has the following meaning:

* The table is first grouped by *IFC Class* (Door, Wall, ...), and then by *Name* (Balcony Door, Acoustic Insulation, ...)&#x20;
* There are **88** doors with the name *Balcony Door* in the model. At least one of them has an acoustic rating of **35**. To know precisely which of the doors have this value, expand the group to show the individual doors. The Balcony Doors have a temporary green color override.
* There are **52** doors with the name *Door* in the model. At least one of them has an acoustic rating of **35**. They all have a temporary yellow color override.
* There are **875** doors with the name *Interior Door* in the model. There are interior doors with Fire Rating values **45**, **60** and **90** in this group, and with Acoustic Rating values **20**, **30**, **42** and **35**. To know precisely which of the doors have which values, expand the group to show the individual doors. They all have a temporary orange color override.&#x20;
* The total combined Net Area of all walls with the name *Acoustic Insulation* is at least **1902.74 sqm**. The exact value could not be calculated because the calculation of at least one of the walls in this group has failed because of an unknown reason. Click the warning triangle to indicate which wall is causing the issue.&#x20;
* The IFC Base Quantity *Net Footprint Area* is calculated for the walls in this report. Clicking the info icon next to a calculated value will give some visual feedback in the model how this value was calculated.&#x20;

Once the report is set up the way you want, you can save it to the project dashboard by clicking the ellipsis button at the top-right of the panel, and clicking *Export Report*. This report can now be consulted in the project [Reports](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-dashboard/reports) section.&#x20;

## Version Compare

If you are comparing two versions of a model using the [Version Compare](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-dashboard/models/model-version-management) feature, the report panel is extended with specific functionality to group and filter on the changes between these versions.&#x20;

Edit the structure of the report panel and make sure to enable the toggle to 'only show items with modifications' if that is what you are interested in. Add a rule to group on modification type.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://929210962-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZKeCFTBZzqUt4lpmhUdS%2Fuploads%2FTdf6vITSrkVWgByqaXmh%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3a090c64-803b-4fd6-b097-8c70d05017ee" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

This should result in a list of all changes grouped by type of modification. If a modification has impact on that product's quantity, both the old and the new quantity of that product will be displayed, as well as the difference between the two. In the image below, the rectangular footing in the *old* version of the model had a volume of 0 m<sup>3</sup> (it did not exist in the previous version), and in the new version it has a volume of 0.51 m<sup>3</sup>. Hence, the difference is an increase of 0.51 m<sup>3</sup>as indicated by the arrow p<kbd>o</kbd>inting up. You can double click an entry in the report to select and zoom to the associated product(s)&#x20;

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://929210962-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZKeCFTBZzqUt4lpmhUdS%2Fuploads%2FITBuULkVymf4fIJWS8Et%2FGroup%20570.png?alt=media&#x26;token=2fd10d8c-bdd4-4fbd-aa31-903e744705e3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Instead of grouping by modification type you can also use this modification parameter as a filter rule (e.g. 'show only added products') or add it as a separate column, as shown in the image below.&#x20;
