The Report feature allows you to create comprehensive reports that consolidate information for all or some of the bills or regulations you are tracking. The report can be displayed online, printed, sent to an e-mail address, downloaded, or faxed.
To create a report, follow these steps:
Click Alerts/Tracks at the top of any page, then click Tracks.
In the Tools section in the upper-right corner of the page, click Create a Report.
In the left frame of the next page, select the check boxes next to the folders or Track entries for which you want to create a report.
In the right frame, in the Refine Your Report section, select the types of documents and information you want to include in your report. For example, you can limit your report to state bills that have been adopted in the last 30 days by choosing Bills only from the Bills and Regulations drop-down list; clicking Version (State) and selecting the Adopted check box; and choosing Last 30 Days from the Bill or Regulation Version Date drop-down list.
In the Display Options section, select display options for your report. For example, you can name your report and decide whether to include notes or tags.
