Reporter Software
1. Open a Results Table.
2. Under Companion Software, double-click Reporter 3.2.
3. In the Analyst Reporter dialog, in the Available Templates field, select a template.
4. Click an output format.
The Word option is pre-selected and the report is automatically saved in the current
project Results folder. If this option is not selected, then the report is created and
opened in Word or printed as selected, but the report is not saved. This lets you edit
the report in Word prior to saving the original report.
5. Select either one document containing all samples or multiple documents with one
sample in each.
6. Select the Print Automatically check box if you want your reports to print
automatically to a pre-selected printer.
The Default Printer set in Windows is used unless you select a different printer. The
Reporter tool retains the selected printer between operations. If the printer is set to a
.pdf printer driver, then you can use the Analyst Reporter to generate .pdf file
versions of the created reports automatically.
7. Click Create Report.
The screen shows various progress indicators as the tool opens the template and
populates it with data from the Results Table. Some reports may take seconds to
generate, others may take longer. A large data set with many MRM transitions or a
large number of graphics could result in reports of several hundred pages and could
take hours to generate.
