- Outgo Report - provides the outgo report in HTML and Excel format.
Click on the button above the run list or the appropriate blue link to open the required report.

- Create Report - once you have selected the required fields and/or segments, click to view the resulting report.
- Decimals - you can specify the number of decimals to be used in the results. Type a positive integer into the field. Note that you can increase the number of decimal places displayed to reduce the effects of rounding and thereby increase the accuracy of the displayed data.
- Distribution - select the value on which the chart is to be based. Note that the selected option must be available in the table for it to be presented in the chart.
- Count – shows the actual number of responses per series.
- Horizontal Percent – the results calculated as a percentage, where the columns add up to 100% “horizontally” in the table.
- Vertical Percent – the results calculated as a percentage, where the columns add up to 100% “vertically” in the table.
- Combinations of the above.
- Remove Empty Headers on Rows/Columns - check the boxes to automatically hide (mask) all rows and/or columns that contain no data. As soon as data is received for the row or column, it will be displayed.
To add a field or segment to the report, select it in the Available list and click Add to Rows/Columns as appropriate. The selected item is then copied into the Rows or Columns field. Select the Stacked or Nested radio buttons as required, then click Add to move the selected items to the Selected Tables field. When you have set up the report as required, click Create Report to view the results - .
