Surfable Reports
When reports are placed into a drawing as a table, you can click on various
report cells to quickly find the corresponding devices within the schematic
or panel layout drawings in the active project.
When surfing on a table inserted by the Terminal Strip Editor, you can click
the title cell to surf on the Tagstrip value, even if the Tagstrip is not included
in the title. If you select a cell that is not surfable (such as the Tag, Catalog,
or Wire Number cell) the Tagstrip value is surfed for the terminal strip.
