Creating a Review Template

The Select Reports... window lists all of the reports that are available for analyzing the specified study. This window is used to select the reports that are to be included in the review.

The Review Builder window contains all of the specified reports. There is a separate tab for each report. Initially, each tab lists the options for the analysis. You can accept the default settings or adjust them as desired. After the report(s) is run, results are shown in the tab.
