Preparing a report

Reports of an analysis can be prepared in advance, and then exported to a PDF document.

The content of a report, and its appearance, can be customized using different report settings. Because all report settings are saved within the report itself, you only need to click Export to create the PDF document; no further adjustments are made.
Note: While working on the report, the preview will reflect your settings. For performance reasons, the preview might not be available until you click Update preview in the preview area.
