CHAPTER 10
Reports
Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 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 8. 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.
Dreamweaver 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:
