Create a Data Analysis Report
To create a report in the Data Analysis window, follow these steps:
1. Make final adjustments to the well contents, selected wells, charts, and spreadsheets in
the Data Analysis window before creating the report.
2. Click the Report button in the Data Analysis toolbar to open the Report window.
3. Change the options you want to include in the report. The report opens with default
options selected. Click the check boxes in the report options list to change whole
categories or individual options within a category.
NOTE: The data that appear in the report are dependent on the current selections
within the tabs of the Data Analysis window. For example, a quantification run
might not contain a standard curve, and therefore those data do not appear in the
Data Analysis window or in the data report.
4. The ordering of categories and items within a report can be changed by clicking and
dragging these to the desired relative position. Items can only be reordered within the
categories to which they belong.
5. Click the Update Report button to update the Report Preview with any changes.
6. Print or save the report. Click the Print Report button in the toolbar to print the current
report. Select File > Save to save the report as a PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader file), MHT
(Microsoft document), or MHTML (Microsoft document) file and select a location to store
the file. Select File > Save As to save the report with a new name or in a new location.
7. (Optional) Create a report template with the information you want. To save the current
report settings in a template, select Template > Save or Save As. Then load the report
template the next time you want to make a new report.
