This document describes the general reporting functionality of InfoEx. Detailed descriptions of how to customize InfoEx reports are included in separate documents that are linked at the bottom of this page.

Background

The report functionality is the central piece of InfoEx. It is this part of the application that allows subscribers to develop a better understanding of the conditions around them.

InfoEx reports can be accessed by clicking on the 'REPORTS' menu. When you log in, the reports section automatically opens and the tabular view of the default report CAA and AC Messages is loaded.

InfoEx allows subscribers to fully customize their reports to fit their information needs and allow them to absorb the information in an efficient manner.

In addition to the Tabular view of the InfoEx report, a Map view and a Chart view are available to visualize the data. The following paragraphs provide a short overview of the functionalities of these report views.
