Generating an Audit Report

Audit reports provide way for the analyst to distribute their research and findings to others, such as the security and legal experts who need to approve or reject each inventory item.

To generate an Audit Report:

    • The tab opens, showing the list of standard and custom reports available for the project.
  2. Select Audit Report.
  3. Click Generate Report. A dialog box opens stating that the report will be generated as a background process.
  4. Click OK. Once the generation of the report has successfully completed, links are displayed in the View Report and Download Report columns for the report.
