Reports demo outputs

When you run the Reports demo, you determine the format of the report output, and whether it is saved to disk.

Output formats

The Output As section of the Reports user interface allows you to select the output format for your report.

  • If preview is selected, the image displays in the default image viewer for the client.
  • If save on disk is selected, the image is created in the GRW demo project directory.
