About the<br />

Report<br />

Information<br />

About Graphs<br />

In the Windows interface, the <strong>Source</strong> <strong>Integrity</strong> Reporter utility<br />

analyzes projects, their members, or individual archives, and allows<br />

you to generate a variety of reports and graphs based on its findings.<br />

Reports and graphs can be printed or viewed on the screen. To use<br />

the Reporter utility, you must have a default printer installed.<br />

Note <strong>The</strong> Reporter is not available in the <strong>Source</strong> <strong>Integrity</strong> Web Interface.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Reports command (from either the Project or Archive menu)<br />

creates database tables, from which the Reporter utility generates<br />

status and activity summaries for projects (including sandboxes) and<br />

archives. <strong>The</strong> Reporter calculates a summary of the changes to a<br />

project or archive, then displays or prints the summary as text or, for<br />

some reports, as a graph. Customized reports, created using<br />

Microsoft Access, can also be produced.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Reporter’s data files (containing the results of its project or<br />

archive analysis) can be saved as text files that can be read by most<br />

database applications.<br />

This utility generates<br />

changes introduced by individual authors<br />

changes between the member revision and a revision with a<br />

particular label<br />

changes between the member revision and any other revision<br />

which members are locked, and by whom<br />

which revisions have a particular label or state<br />

project member history (including revision descriptions) by file<br />

Whenever graphs are available in the Reporter, you are given the<br />

option of displaying the report in a text version (the default) or as a<br />

graph. If you display a report as a graph, you can define how you<br />

want it to look. Using graphs, you can give reports a custom look to<br />

suit your preferences or for quick, project-specific identification.<br />
