The Wire Checklist report displays the list of wire connections drawn in Visio and AutoCAD. This report is intended to provide a "rough-in" or "pre-wire" status of the project.

Very commonly, this report is run after doing a Plan page in Visio, where you might only have one end of the wire connected to a device.

There are three variations of the Wire Checklist report.

Wire Checklist

This report displays all wires, whether they are connected or not.

Wire Checklist (Connected only)

This report displays wires that are connected on at least one end of the wire.

Wire Checklist With Package Info (Connected only)

This report displays wires that are connected on at least one end of the wire and will be grouped by Package Name and Package ID on the "From" side and will also display the Package ID in the Device column on the "To" side. This report is helpful when you are using wires for Package Shapes.

Here, the company name, phone number, project information, report name, and modified and revision information are displayed.

The fields that display for each grouping are as follows: OK (check box), From Device (Component ID), From Head End, To Location, To Device (Component ID), Wire Manufacturer-Model, Wire Number (Component ID), Type (Subcategory), Comments (line).

The following is an example of the "Wire Checklist" report, and it was run "By Wire Number."

The footer lists the project number and the page number.

With reference to the image above, the report knows that the wire is going to the speaker and that it is coming from the "Audio" head end, but since the other end of the wire is not connected to anything, that is why you see "(no device)" in the From column on the report.

If the "Head End" end of the wire is connected on another page, say a schematic page, then the From column will display the Component ID of the From device.
