3.1.1.5. Reports Tab Controls

The Interface Planner Reports tab contains the following Task pane controls to help you filter data and find entities and locations.
Table 8.  Reports Tab Controls
Command Description
Create all Summary Reports Creates the following summary reports:
  • Interface Planner Summary
  • All Periphery Cells
  • Placed/Unplaced Periphery Cells
  • Periphery Location Types.
Report All Placed/Unplaced Pins Reports the name, parent (if any), and type of all placed (Report All Placed Pins) or unplaced (Report All Unplaced Pins) pins in the interface plan, respectively. The Placed Pins report includes the placement location name. The Unplaced Pins report includes the number of potential placement locations. Right-click any cell to place, unplace, or report connectivity or location information.
Report All Placed/Unplaced HSSI Channels Reports the name, parent (if any), and type of all placed (Report All Placed HSSI Channels) or unplaced (Report All Unplaced HSSI Channels) channels in the interface plan, respectively. The Placed HSSI Channels report includes the placement location name. The Unplaced HSSI Channels report includes the number of potential placement locations. Right-click any cell to place, unplace, or report connectivity or location information.
Right-click > Report Placed/Unplaced Periphery Cells of Selected Type Reports the name, parent (if any), and type of placed (Report Placed Periphery Cells of Selected Type) or unplaced (Report Unplaced Periphery Cells of Selected Type) cells matching the selected type. The placed cells report includes the placement location name. The unplaced cells report includes the number of potential placement locations. Right-click any cell to place, unplace, or report connectivity or location information.
Right-click > Report Periphery Locations of Selected Type Reports all locations in the device of the selected type, and whether the location supports merging.
Right-click > Report Periphery Cell Connectivity Reports the source port and type, destination port and type, of connections to the selected cell. Right-click any cell to report the individual cell connectivity.
Right-click > Place/Unplace Cell Places the cell in the selected location of the interface plan. Similarly, you can right-click any cell and then click Place Cell of Selected Type or Unplace Cell of Selected Type to place or unplace multiple cells of the same type.
Right-click > Report Cell Locations for Custom Placement Reports the preferred legal locations for the selected cell in the interface plan in the Legal Location report. Right-click to immediately place the cell in a location or report all periphery location of the selected type.
Remove Invalid Reports Removes outdated Interface Planner reports that you invalidate by changes to the interface plan.
Report Instance Assignments Shows all imported project assignments in the interface plan. You can delete these assignments from the plan.
