Viewing reports that are defined in the Protocol

In brief

As you may know already, it's possible to define reports as part of a protocol. This has the advantage that reports are immediately available in any experiment that's based on the protocol, making it extremely easy to view your results.

Any such reports are listed as Stored reports, and are available from a drop-down list in the ribbon bar at the top of the Results page. To view a report, just select its name from this list.

Details

There are two benefits to defining results reports in the protocol:

•

Firstly, you only have to 'design' the report once, and thereafter you can just reuse the same design again and again;

•

Secondly, reports designed in the protocol can include a mix of the ANY-maze report styles - something that the reports created directly on the Results page can't do.

For example, you could easily create a report which shows statistical analysis of a measure, followed by a graph of the same data. For full details on defining reports in the protocol, refer to: Setting up a results report.

Of course, the disadvantage is that these types of reports are less flexible than reports you create directly on the Results page. In general, therefore, you'll probably want to utilise a mix of the two - perhaps including a 'standard' report in the protocol (which includes the results you know you'll always want to see) and then using the Results page to analyse individual experiments in detail.
