Site reports

You use the Reports API to create custom site reports or modify the set of prewritten reports that come with Adobe Dreamweaver. You can access site reports only through the Reports dialog box.

Site reports reside in the Adobe Dreamweaver Configuration/Reports folder. The Reports folder has subfolders that represent report categories. Each report can belong to only one category. The category name cannot exceed 31 characters. Each subfolder can have a file in it named _foldername.txt. If this file is present, Adobe Dreamweaver uses its contents as the category name. If _foldername.txt is not present, Adobe Dreamweaver uses the folder name as the category name.

When the user selects multiple site reports from the Reports dialog box, Adobe Dreamweaver places all the results in the same Results window under the Site Reports tab of the Results panel. Adobe Dreamweaver replaces these results the next time the user runs any site report.

The following table lists the files you use to create a site report:
