Collected Entities

There ares several steps to output collected entities.

  1. HyperWorks Desktop executes the before() level before scanning the database.
  2. HyperWorks Desktop examines each collector for an entity that matches the requested type. When HyperWorks Desktop finds a collector, the beforecollector() level is processed. Collector data is available at this level.
  3. HyperWorks Desktop executes the format() level once for each entity in the collector that matches the requested type.
  4. The aftercollector() and after() levels are processed similarly to the before() and beforecollector() levels in step 1.
