Lesson 9: Generate and save reports
You can generate a quick report of each view, and then save the reports in the database.
Generate a quick report
To create a quick report about your prioritization results:
1 Log in to Focal Point® as Veena Doe.
2 Open the stacked bar chart that you generated in the previous lesson.
3 Click the Report icon Report icon.
4 On the Generate a report of the current view page, from the Format list, select RTF (Rich Text Format).
5 Select the Paper Size.
6 From the Orientation list, select Landscape and ensure that Standard Report Template is selected. Click Next.
7 On the Header page, type your name in the Prepared By field, and specify other header information for the report.
8 Click Generate Report. The report is generated in the Rich Text Format. You can either open the report or save it on your local hard disk. If you only view the report, it is not automatically saved on the hard disk or in the database.
9 Save the generated report on your local hard disk. You can also generate a report about the comparisons. From the Prioritize menu, you can open the All Cars view and then generate a report to see the pairwise comparisons for the Design appeal criterion.
For more information on reports, see Generating reports and Report templates.
Save the report in the database
To save the generated report in the database, you must upload the locally saved report to the database.
1 To upload the locally saved report, click Modules > Saved Reports.
2 Click Add Report.
3 For the title for the report, type Prioritization report. Enter a description.
4 In the Report field, click Browse, and then select the report file that you saved on your local hard disk.
