ReportViewer allows you to preview the list of reports and to show the result of a particular one. DNAReportNavigator allows you to access reports using the Report Navigator Test Client. It provides access to reports for specific points in several formats: HTML, MHTML, PDF, TIFF, text, and Microsoft Excel.
The left pane of the Report Navigator Test Client dialog box shows all of the AVEVA Enterprise SCADA reports in tree structure. The right pane presents the details of the selected report. The appearance of the right pane depends on the selected report.
