Tool in CREO to create a sheet of mass properties of all the parts in an assembly?

I have a large assembly filled with many parts. I can use the mass properties tool to select each individual part and retrieve the mass properties that way but I was wondering if there was an easier method or tool that could accomplish populating the properties for each part quicker.

If you have the mass property in each file, like weight, you can create a repeat region table that can be populated with the part number, description and weight.

@BenLoosli 's answer is correct if all of the mass property parameters are up to date. If you don't have mass_property_calculate set to automatic or check_upon_save chances are some of your models don't have the mass property parameters updated.

In that case you can run Analysis -> Mass properties with the config mp_calc_level all_models. This report will not give you titles or other parameters that the repeat region will though.
