Generating a Pattern Report

Use the following guidelines when generating pattern reports:

  • Name the generated scenario report using elements from the scenario. A desired format may be scenario name_pattern ID, since pattern ID is a unique parameter within any given scenario.
  • Print in landscape to ensure that the formatting is accurate and the printed report is readable.
