In most sections of the Administration Software, it is possible to generate a report (or several types of reports) for that section. Reports are generally used for auditing purposes and to view the data for a section in one place making at-a-glance viewing and printing easier. Generated report files are in the PDF file format. Adobe’s Acrobat Reader might be required to view these files.
