FormatDescription

PDF Reports

PDF is the most appropriate format for printing. To view these reports you're computer must have Adobe PDF View installed. Adobe PDF viewer is available from www.adobe.com.

HTML Reports

HTML Reports will work on all systems and don't require an external PDF viewer. These reports may not print or format as well as the PDF versions and are designed for either a quick review of data or for systems that don't have a PDF viewer.

CSV/Excel Reports

The CSV/Excel reports can be used to access the data in plain text format. The format is suitable for importing data into programs such as Microsoft Excel.
