Deleting Rows from Reports?

[Entire Leaves]

I'd like to delete a few rows from my planting list but for some reason every time I select a row and choose the "delete row" option it just deletes everything. What am I missing here? Surely this is possible. Deleting columns works perfectly fine. Rows not so much.

Sound like you are trying to delete rows of a database.

The database rows are tied to objects in the drawing. If you want to delete a row you need to either:

1. Delete the object being reported.

or

2. Change the criteria for the database to not include that object.

If you need to find a particular object, right click on the row header (it will be number with a decimal i.e., 4.xx) then left click on "select object" (it will be the only possibility).

As if by magic the drawing will go to the design layer containing that object, zoom to put it in the center of the drawing window and select it.

Delete the object. Update the schedule. Row is gone.

Thanks for your answer. Is there a way for me to make a report that isn't a database and is just a simple report that I can modify without changing any of my design?

For example. I would like to create a sheet layer that just has trees in an orchard listed and not all the plants in the herb garden and perennial garden. Easy enough to do with the plant tags. I just created a separate tag class for my fruit trees. It doesn't seem to be possible to only create a plant list that includes trees though. This seems a bit absurd.

This is not what your asking but it sounds like you might find it useful,

You can hide the Database rows by unchecking Database Headers on the reports hidden menu

As for reporting on a single plant, I'm not sure but I'll have someone look at it who may know better!

Hi Entire Leaves

We made a movie about this as it's a frequently asked question from our customers!

Take a look at this page and scroll down - there are several movies that will help explain worksheets a bit better for you, but two in particular that relate to limiting a worksheet to only look at certain plants, or order them by certain criteria.
