Use export tools

After working with imagery or video, and analyzing areas of interest, selections can be exported for use in briefings, reports, and presentations.

Use the Analysis Report tool

Generate a report to disseminate key information about a specific area of interest through a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. The Analysis Report tool defines an area of interest and adds any comments from the analysis. A report can be created from the Map Panel or Focus Panel.

Note:

If the Focus Panel is chosen for export, the full metadata of the image will be included in the notes section of the slide. Reports can only be created from the Map Panel if a video layer or oriented imagery layer is being used.

To create a report do the following:

1. Click the Tools menu in the canvas.
2. In the Export Tools list, click Analysis Report.

   Optionally, click Upload Report to upload an existing Excalibur Report to your portal account.

3. Click Draw area to draw your area of interest in the Map Panel or Focus Panel.

   Alternatively click Cancel to cancel the drawing. Once you draw an area of interest, you will see a preview of your area of interest and can click Redraw to redraw your area.

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

   Additional report options are available to export a report in dark mode and include a title slide. Including a title slide is selected by default.

5. Click Create Report.

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

   Note:

   Optionally, upload a report to the account. The report will upload to different folders depending on the workflow. If working in the canvas view through an ad-hoc workflow, the report is saved in My Content. If the report is created in an Excalibur project, the report is saved to the Excalibur project folder.

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

   Alternatively, click Skip Upload to skip the upload and continue.

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

   The tool automatically resets, and you can then view more details on the report by accessing it through the App Notices center in the canvas.

Screenshot tool

The Screenshot tool takes a screenshot of an area of interest and views it in a new tab, or saves it to a location. Reports can be created from the Map Panel or Focus Panel. Screenshots can only be created from the Map Panel if a video layer or oriented imagery layer is being used.

Export an image by choosing one of the following:

• Open—Opens the defined area of interest as a .png file in a new browser tab.
