Consolidated Reports

If you chose to sign the report, it will have the Status of Final. If you did not sign the report, it will have the status of Complete.
When you create a consolidated report, the various sections of the report will be outlined as bookmarks in the Bookmark pane of your PDF viewer /software. In addition, if you include a cover sheet in your consolidated reports, the individual report titles on the cover sheet can be clicked to jump to that report in the PDF file when viewing the report on your screen.
Consolidated reports can digitally signed. If you want to sign the report with a signature graphic, a cover sheet must be included.

Consolidated Status

Individual reports placed on a consolidated report will remain in Delivery. These reports will have a Consolidated status assigned to them to indicate that they have been placed on a consolidated report. In addition, there will be a Reported On icon that appears on the right side of the Delivery grid so you are able to see the relationship between the individual report and the consolidated report it was placed on.
