Creating Reports

Reports is one of the most critical functions in a workspace.

Reports can be created directly through the Exploration module. You can showcase a specific layer in a workspace and create a report that include both manual and model detections. Additionally, you can also insert the text and use measurement tools to add annotations and measure objects in the image file. The platform enables you to use an existing template or create a new one to generate a report. A template can be designed to display the following information in the report:

• Coordinates
• Date
• Compass
• Location
• Graph
• Table
• Scale

You can get started with creating reports in three easy steps:

1. Open a Workspace and select an appropriate layer that you want to showcase.

2. Insert text and/or draw annotations manually on the layer and then click the Create Report button on the analytical tool.

3. Select a template and create a report.

Pre-requisites:

• Locate a workspace and the layer that you want to feature and what exactly you want to present in the report.
• Ensure that the layer has all the appropriate metadata.
• Make sure you have a designed a template to showcase your layer.
