About Inspect Reporting - Reporting Portal

ATS Inspect reports are available using the ATS Reporting Portal.  The ATS Reporting Portal is a web interface for organising and viewing reports from multiple reporting sources in a multi-document (tabbed) structure.  Each ATS application has a separate set of pre-made reports designed to get the most out of the available data. If there are reports missing that you believe would be useful for your company just contact your ATS representative and they can create the report for you.

Use Drill down

In many reports it's possible to view further information about an item. This is possible when the text is displayed as a hyperlink (blue and underlined by default).

Below you can see an example. It lists concerns in order of frequency.

If you now clicked on Chem Process: Staining you would be given further details as shown below.

It lists all the components that had that defect. You could then go into further detail again by clicking on one of the components.
