Viewing reports

You can view reports for data associated with locations on the map. You can generate these reports as a .pdf or .html file or export the report data as a .csv or .xml file. Additional options are available if the report uses SAP Crystal Reports™ as the report viewer.

•	the More Information window (using the Identify tool)

•	Results window

Viewing reports using the Identify tool
