Site Reports - Adobe 38040334 - Dreamweaver CS3 User Manual

Chapter 12: Reports
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 supports two types of reports: site reports and stand-alone reports.

Site reports

You use the reports API to create custom site reports or modify the set of prewritten reports that
come with Dreamweaver. You can access site reports only through the Reports dialog box.
Site reports reside in the Dreamweaver Configuration/Reports folder. The Reports folder has
subfolders that represent report categories. Each report can belong to only one category. The
category name cannot exceed 31 characters. Each subfolder can have a file in it named
_foldername.txt. If this file is present, Dreamweaver uses its contents as the category name. If
_foldername.txt is not present, Dreamweaver uses the folder name as the category name.
When the user selects multiple site reports from the Reports dialog box, Dreamweaver places all
the results in the same Results window under the Site Reports tab of the Results panel. Dream-
weaver replaces these results the next time the user runs any site report.
The following table lists the files you use to create a site report:
Path
Configuration/Reports/{type/}
