Merge provides several different ways to generate a report from a folder comparison. A report is a static representation of a folder comparison in a format that is suitable for storage on disk or on a website.
Folder comparison reports can optionally include reports for files appearing within the folder comparison.
The Related topics section below lists the types of report that you can currently create for folder comparisons.
Creating a report
To create a report for a folder comparison, select the Report... command in the File menu. A window similar to the one shown below will appear.
A list of available report types is displayed in the left-hand column of the window. Click on a report type to display a page of configuration options for that report type. Click the Help button for information about the options for the currently selected report type.
Use the radio buttons within the window to include file reports within the folder comparison report. The type of file comparison report that will be generated can be chosen from the File comparison report type drop-down list.
When you have configured or reviewed the options for the selected report type and chosen the location to which the report is written, click the Save... button to create the report.
