Description

In the Report tab for each Cintoo project the default view shows the list of all activities done by all users in a chosen work zone (1), showing as well date of creation (2), name of the object (3) and creator (4). It's possible to show the details of the object by clicking on the arrows (5) on the right.

Note: content of Report tab depends on the work zone chosen in Work zone Explorer, as it serves as a filter. To view all the elements of the project choose the root work zone.

This list includes:

• Issues
• Measurements
• Notes

Export as PDF green button is located on the top right of the screen.

Filtering

Content in the resulting PDF report could be additionally controlled by the filters located to the left of Export as PDF button.

There are 3 types of filters:

• by label (for annotations). Using labels as defined categories, location or issue types allows to get additional flexibility and customization when composing the report.
  
• by users who created an object
  
• by activities - type of the object
  

By default Select all option is chosen in all 3 filters, meaning that all objects would be visible in the list and all would be included in the PDF report.

By setting up proper filtering options the remaining objects will be included in the PDF report once a user clicks on Export as PDF button.

If the number of objects is big this might take time to generate a report. The report is then automatically downloaded in browser inheriting work zone name, where it was generated.

Header

• Report name - name of the work zone, where report was generated
• Exported date and user who exported the report
• Project information section with scan count, project creation date, last update date, coordinates and creator information.
  
• Different types of elements counter: Notes, Private Notes, Issues and Measurements. Each number is a clickable quick link to move to a corresponding report section.
