The Reports feature allows you to track and analyze cutting activity performed within the software. By generating reports, you can review cut history, user activity, and material usage, helping with workflow optimization and accountability.
This guide will walk you through the steps to create different types of Reports available in our software.
To access the Reports feature, open the Database Access Tool by clicking the "Open pattern from the database" button located in the top menu.
