The Report Generator Panel contains two tabs; Basic and Advanced. The table below provides a summary description of the purpose of these tabs.
| Tab | Description |
| Basic | Provides access for simple and advanced users to select default templates created by Chemwatch for ease of generating data based on common templates. Simple users will normally be restricted to create report generator templates. |
| Advanced | Provides access for advanced users to create templates by assigning specific data points of interest. In order to be able to create templates, the administrator of the program will assign respective privileges to access and/or manager the Report Generator Method Builder Tool. |

Description | Basic features pre-built reports that Chemwatch has created, based on data points. These reports cannot be edited by default. If a basic user requires a specific type of report with relevant data and cannot find the data points of interest within that basic template; consult the administrator. If unsure, contact helpdesk@chemwatch.net for more information. | Materials Template, Manifest Volumes and Locations, Manifest DG Report | Advanced users will be able to create and/or edit templates based on required data points. Recommended that this feature is assigned to only those users who have some type of role to manage report generator templates that will be used within the entire organisation or sites. This is to ensure that only those super users (advanced) will determine what type of data points and reports are required for reporting purposes or audits. | Advanced users will create their own templates at this time. However, Chemwatch is currently building newly advanced templates to be available in the near future. |
Role | Basic users can only be assigned to access the basic feature to generate data based on the default template(S) already created by the administrator or any other user with report generator rights. | Templates can be generated in various formats; xls, html, csv, xml, xlsx | Advanced users will be assigned the "Advanced Report Generator" privilege by the administrator. Recommend to create a role and link the role of the respective privilege to super users. | Templates can be generated in various formats; xls, html, csv, xml, xlsx |
