Use export tools

After working with imagery and exploiting areas of interest, you can export an area of interest and view for use in briefings, reports, and presentations.

Create a Report tool

Generate a report to disseminate key information about a specific area of imagery through a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. The Create Report tool allows you to define an area of interest and add any comments from your analysis. You can create a report from the map focus panel or image focus view.

Note:

If you choose to export the image focus view, the full metadata of the image will be included in the notes section of the slide.

To create a report, complete the following steps:

1. Click the Tools menu in the canvas.
2. In the Export Tools list, click Create Report.
3. Click Draw area to draw your area of interest.

   Additionally, you can click the button again to cancel your drawing.

4. Fill in the following information:
   • Report Title
   • Analyst Comments
   • Report Filename (required)

   You also have additional report options to export a report in dark mode and include a title slide. Including a title slide is turned on by default.

5. Click Create Report.

   The presentation file is available in your browser's default download location, and the Upload Report option appears.

   Note:

   You have the option of uploading a report to your portal account. The report will upload to different folders depending on the workflow. If you are working in the canvas view through an ad-hoc workflow, the report is saved in your My Content folder. If you create a report within an existing Excalibur project, the report is saved to your Excalibur project folder.

6. Click the Upload icon or drag a file to the area.

   Alternatively, you can click Skip and Complete to skip the upload and continue.

   A notification appears in the App Notices center stating the imagery report was uploaded and saved to your online account as a new item.
