## Viewing the reports

After the Compatibility Analyser Wizard or the Report Filter Wizard has finished, you can view the reports of the analysis. The reports are in XML format and listed on the Compatibility Analyser view, as shown in the example below. The view also has a right-click menu for certain operations.

For more information on filtering, see Filtering existing reports.

### Opening the reports

You can also view the list of issue files for the selected report file in the right side tree view. Double-clicking a file name or issue will open the file in the editor view.

To open a report for an analysis:

- Select a report, right-click and select Open.
- Double-click a selected file.

By default, the report is opened in the built-in Editor of Carbide.c++, for HTML files.

The browser formats the layout with an Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) file, BBCResults.xsl. It is copied to the output directory automatically.

You can also open the report in an XML editor:

1. Select one or more reports.
2. Right-click the items and select Open With > XML Editor.

- The value of the field Last Modification Time specifies the last modification time of the report by the tool.
- The value of the field Report Filtered specifies whether the report is filtered or not by the tool.

You can also view the list of issue files for the selected report file in the right side tree view. For header report, header files in that report and issues in those files are grouped into BCIssues and SCIssues. Similarly, for library report, library files in that report and issues in those files are grouped into BCIssues and SCIssues.

Double-clicking a header file or issue will open the header file in the editor view. You can also compare the current header file with the baseline header file by selecting the option Compare with baseline in the context menu of an issue file in the tree view. A proper error message will be displayed if the current or baseline header file does not exist.

Double-clicking an issue of any library file will open the corresponding MMP file or source file in an editor view. For example, if the selected issue is related to the method modified or added, then the source file is opened. If the selected issue is related to UID or capability, then MMP file is opened. A proper error message will be displayed if MMP/source files do not exist or if the tool is not able to identify the MMP/source file.
