Preview Reports

A Preview report is generated from scan data in the database, and temporarily cached in the Web Application's data folder. When you close a Preview report, you can't access the report again until you generate a new one using the same report definition.

When you view a report in Preview mode, you can print the report or save the report locally.

1. Select the report definition you want in the Report Definitions window.

2. Select Generate Preview in the Generate menu.

3. (Conditional) If you get a message that your browser prevented pop-up windows from appearing, enable pop-ups for this site.

   

   All reports have a similar structure: a title page, the report parameters, and a Top Ten summary for some report types, followed by a comprehensive breakdown of the data.
