Report

Report Panel

The Report Panel in Tin Man allows users to generate two types of reports:

  • Clip Reports – HTML, PDF, JSON, XLSX and CSV formats, using metadata extracted from the Inspect Panel for all visible files in the File List.

  • Marker Reports – HTML, PDF, JSON, XLSX and CSV formats, using marker metadata from the Markers Panel for all visible files in the File List.
