Template Report Design
The Template Report Design module is a tool for extracting information that is most important for you from the AP100US System. The TRD module simplifies the process of creating customized reports for parts, sheets, turrets, machines and bend processing.

Starting the Template Report Design Module
To launch the module, click the Amada 
in
the upper left-hand corner to open the AP100US main menu. Then click the
Template Report Design button.
Notes:
1. You can also locate the TemplateReport.exe file in the main application directory where you originally installed AP100US and place a shortcut on your desktop for easy access.
2. You can run the Template Report Design module independently of AP100US when designing your reports. However, you can only print your reports using the printing options within the AP100US System.
