SCOPEreports, Baseline Size, Reworked Size and Current Count Size dynamically at the bottom of the screen as you move through the functional model.

Full Detailed Management Reports are generated online within seconds in print preview mode.  The Count Detail Reports actually report the level of detail that a process or data group was counted. E.g. displays the ranges, or actual number of RETs or DETS.  This is useful for auditing count results.

SCOPE allows you to extract your count using the SnapShot option to send the full count details to a client. The client can then download SCOPE Viewer ™ free from the Total Metrics WWW site and install it so they can investigate all aspects of the count, print all reports or provide comments and send it back in softcopy to the counter.


Comparison to FPW
     
  • FPW has only one online report.  The other limited number of reports can be printed. To view in softcopy requires the output report to be printed to a CSV or a HTML or WORD file and then saved.  Then, in order to see the report online you have to go into Microsoft Explorer and open the file to view it.  This sequence takes several minutes to complete in order to view a single report. If the report indicates an error or omission in the count, the count needs to be fixed and the whole process repeated
  •  
  • FPW provides a HTML report that allows a user to drill down to process and data details but the User can only view the information provided on the report not all the count details, to do that they need to purchase a full copy of FPW
