7.1. Create reports

There are a number of options for customising your reports, to make them as detailed or a high level as you wish.

To create a report, first click on the Export pdf button at the top of the screen.

You will be taken to the export pdf page. If you just want the standard report creating then select the export button and your report will be generated (you can change the title of the report). Select the download pdf button and the report should appear in your web browser. Use the tools in your browser to save it wherever you choose.

There are advanced options so that you can customise your report. You can access these by clicking on the ‘show options’ button.

In the advanced options you can:

Add a cover page with text/logo if you wish.

By using the tick boxes, you can include or exclude areas, your inputs, and input from anyone invited to collaborate on the abacus.

If you have more than one bead on an area you can include all judgements or just the most recent one.

You can decide if you want the name of the owner of each bead shown and the date the bead was initially dragged onto the abacus.

When you are done, scroll back up and click the export button.

Clicking on export will generate your report. You will then see a box saying your report is ready.

Click on Download Pdf.

The Pdf should appear in your web browser. Use the tools in your browser to save it wherever you choose.

*On the pdf report you can click any of the beads or areas on the left hand side to jump down to that page of the report. This is particularly useful if you have a large report or know which bead you wish to view.
