A. Getting There Reports can be accessed from a number of locations within AddWeb but the easiest is by going to the Features Menu along the top and selecting Reports from there.
When you selectReports, you will be presented with a window that asks you to select a Profile. Do so and click on theLoadbutton along the bottom of this window. The Generate Reports window will now open.
B. Picking Your Report
You should first select theReport Type. HTML, Text or E-mail. It is suggested that you selectHTML as a first choice in reports. This is because they look better than the others (Both E-mail and Text are simple ASCII Text based and not exactly pretty) and the HTML reports will integrate with other reports in AddWeb in order to bring everything together.
Next, you will want to select the Style of the report. Unless you have made your own style or downloaded one from our website (Read theDetailed Documentation for more on this), you will have one choice, Default. The image below the selection window displays the look of the HTML reportsfor the style selected.
There are 7 reports to choose from in the default style. Below theselection windowis a description of what each report contains. For now, let's stick with the default report.
The only choice left here is where you want the report saved. To help keep everything together, you should save it to the AddWeb4\Reports\Output\ directory which is selected by default. If you wish to save the report to a different directory, the button to the left of the output selection field will allow you to browse your computer for the location you desire.
C. Make the Report
You can send E-mail reportsfrom here also. You will want to make sure that the SMTP Settings in the Preferences are filled in with all of the proper information if you do. We are not sending mail now, so click on the Generatebutton at the bottom of the window.
You will notice some activity in the progress barat the bottom of the window and some messages about the information that is being gathered or generated and your Web Browser will open after a short while. Go through the report and learn what AddWeb can tell you about your Website and Profile. If you had selected the TEXT report, Notepad or Wordpad (your default text editor) would have opened. E-mail reports just get sent, and you would only see them if you sent them to yourself. A pop-up will tell you that the report was "Saved" to the address they are sent to.
You will want to close the Generate Reports Window in order to get back into AddWeb and access the other features.
