Viewing reports

Reports provide information about your project that you can view online. After you open a report, you can print, copy, save (export) and mail it to other people. Many reports are grouped together at the same dialog for quick and easy access. All you do is click the tab and the report data is displayed. You can also customize several of the reports to view specific information.

To select a report:

  1. From the Tools menu, select Reports.

  2. From the submenu, select a report type. The report data is displayed at a dialog.

 

Tips:

  • Some reports are available in quick summary format or in more detailed format. The tabs for these reports include a drop-down list in the lower-right for selecting the format.

  • Some reports provide a way to sort the information. The tabs for these reports include a drop-down list in the lower-right for selecting the sort order.

  • Several reports are customizable such as Topic Properties, Index, and Unreferenced Topics. The tabs for these reports include an Option button in the lower-right that opens a dialog for selecting the information to include in the report.
