Generating reports

You can generate reports in RTF or PDF format. You can also generate reports by using an authenticated XML export, which uses reporting tools such as Crystal Reports.

Before you begin

In RTF reports, you can display multiple files in JPG and PNG image formats only. You can also create quick reports by clicking the Report icon on the Display or Visualize pages.
