In the browser window containing the report, the tools available via the toolbar let you perform some of the following actions on the open report file:

File:

Edit:

Select All - highlight the entire text (Ctrl+A), and then Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) this text in an open file

Perform a search for text > Find - search for specific text in the file (Ctrl+F)

Sample report file formats

The following report file formats are available for emailing and viewing: “MS-DOS Text”, “PDF”, “Rich Text Format”, “HTML”, “Comma-Delimited Text”, “Excel (English)”.

NOTES: 8e6 recommends using the PDF and HTML file formats over other file format selections—in particular for detail reports—since these files display and print in a format that is easiest to read. Lengthy text in PDF, HTML, and Rich Text Format files wraps around within the column so all text is captured without displaying truncated.

Comma-Delimited Text and Excel report columns may display with truncated text, but an entire column can be viewed by mani-pulating the column width in the generated report file. These reports can then be printed at a smaller percentage than normal size in order to accommodate all text.

For MS-DOS Text reports, text may display truncated—in parti-cular for lengthy usernames and URLs in detail reports—but an entire column can be viewed by scrolling to the right. Since there is no way to manipulate text in the generated report file, the printed report may display with truncated text. However, the maximum amount of text can be captured by printing the report in the landscape format.
