Printing Scouting Reports
The software allows you to generate a special report for any data you have collected or created as a Scouting
operation. This report is special because it combines aspects of a normal report with a print layout to provide summary
data as well as map data for your scouting data. It is also unique in that the general formatting of the report is fixed in
its design but you can customize some of the content of the summary, what operations to display, and even colors for
formatting the look of the report. Two types of report can be generated; a Condensed Scouting Report or a Detailed
Scouting report. The condensed version is designed to generate a minimal number of pages with only key information
while the detailed version will provide multiple pages with more detail on each of the scouting operations you collected
data for.
