Use export tools

After working with your imagery and exploiting areas of interest, you can export your area of interest and view for use in briefings, reports, and presentations. The export tools allow you to export your current view as a report.

Create a Report tool

Generate a report to disseminate key information about a specific area of your imagery through a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. The Create Report tool allows you to define an area of interest and add any comments from your analysis. You can create a report from the map focus panel or image focus view.

Note:

If you choose to export the image focus view, the full metadata of the image will be included in the notes section of the slide.

To create a report, complete the following steps:

1. Click the Tools menu in the imagery exploitation canvas.
2. In the Export Tools list, click Create Report.
3. Click Sketch an Area of Interest to draw your area.

   Additionally, you can click the button again to cancel your drawing.

   • Report Title
   • Analyst Comments
