PDF Reporting

The PDF reporting option menu allows you to choose whether the PDF report includes the following pages, the title page, the summary page and the details pages.

 

If you want a simple report which summarises the operations results , we recommend that you use the title page and summary page option in the PDF reports, for comprehensive results we recommend you select all three options. By default all three pages are selected.
