Generating and Viewing Reports

In My Workspace, you may generate a summary report to assess landscape features and model outputs. Reports contain a variety of graphs and tables that can each be downloaded individually to use in your own documents. You may also choose to download the entire report as a PDF.

Generate a Report

  1. From My Workspace, locate and right click on the landscape or model output file then select Request Report from the drop-down menu. A report dialogue box will open.

    The 'request a report' button listed under the file options for a landscape file.

  2. (Optional) Specify an area of interest to constrain the report. If you leave this blank, the report summarizes the extent of the entire landscape or output.

  3. Click Create Report. You may use the refresh button to check whether your report is ready. Reports may take several minutes to generate depending on file size.

View and Save Reports

  1. Reports can be viewed anytime from My Workspace by selecting the report and clicking the View Summary button in the list of file options that appears when you click the report file.

  2. Reports open in a new browser tab. You may choose to scroll through the report, or use the linked table of contents on the left side of the report to skip to a specific section.

    The table of contents to the left allows a user to jump to specific sections of a report.
