When to Use Spreadsheet Reports
Generating reports as Excel spreadsheets can be convenient when you wish to share your data with other programs or organizations. Some aPriori customers use spreadsheet reports to combine their aPriori data with a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) system.
The ability to define your own reports and to change their format makes spreadsheet reports a very flexible tool for analyzing and exporting your aPriori data.
The ability to run spreadsheet reports from the command line also means that you can automate report generation by creating scripts that run as Windows scheduled tasks.
