Creating a Report
Source Integrity provides you with the ability to create reports.
Generating Reports
Reports are summaries of the data in your project. Reports are based on the
standard and custom fields of issue types. Reports can be customized to
include images, fonts, hyperlinks, and can be saved as HTML files for
viewing on the Web.
To create a report in the graphical user interface
1 With a Project or Sandbox window open, select the project or sandbox
you want to report on.
2 From a Project window, select Project > Reports.
From a Sandbox window, select Sandbox > Reports.
The Select Report Type dialog box appears.
3 To save the results of the Reporter’s analysis to data files that can be
read by most database applications, select the Save Data Files option.
4 If you have created customized reports with Microsoft Access that you
want to use with Reporter, select the Show Customized Reports
option, then specify the report name with the Custom Reports selector.
5 From the Report Type list, select a report type to generate, as described
in “Report Types” on page 274.
6 Click OK.
If the report type requires additional information (for example, a
range of revisions), a second dialog box appears to collect it.
Reports appear in plain text format by default. Some report types,
however, allow you to display the information graphically.
