Reports
Passolo can generate different reports containing information on the current project.
To display the Report dialog, choose click
Selection of source files and target languages
The two fields on the left side list all the source files and target languages defined for the project. Select a source file and a target language to create a report with these settings.
You can also select several source files and languages - the report will then contain the data for the different combinations in sequence. If you select two source files and one target language, for example, the report will be made up of two sections - the data for the first source file, then the data for the other source file. If you select two source files and four languages, the report will contain eight sections, one for each combination of source file and target language.
In addition, there is a Sum entry. This generates a report for all the data in all the source files or target languages. To create a report that shows the total number of strings for each target language, choose "Sum of all languages" in the "Target languages" field and in the Sources field all the entries except "Sum of all sources".
Selecting a report
The selection box at the top contains a list of the available reports. Each report comprises one or more sub-reports. You can combine the different report types to create your own custom reports and change the relevant settings. Click on Setup to open the Report Setup dialog. The Report Setup dialog will appear.
This dialog also contains the most recently generated operation reports.
Comment
If you want to print or archive a report, you can enter a comment to be included in the report. Click on the Comment button and enter the text for your comment. If you want this text to be stored persistently so that it is available the next time you call up the given report, activate the "Store this comment" option
Displaying a report
Once you have selected the source files and target languages you want to use and specified a report, click on the Start button. The report is then displayed. With large projects or complex reports it can take several seconds or even minutes to compile the data. You can cancel the process by pressing the Pause key on your keyboard.
To display the report in your browser, click on View in browser. This opens the report in the browser defined as the standard browser on your system.
To print the report, click on Print.
To save the report permanently, click on Save as. Select the location you want to save the file to and choose a file name (this will be an HTML or XML depending on your settings). Related files that may be needed are saved to a subfolder in the specified location.
If the report is not displayed
To display reports in Passolo you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or later installed on your system. If this is not the case, a message will be displayed accordingly and the report will be opened in your standard Internet browser.
