Info

gmStudio produces most reports as flat text files in tab-delimited format. The reports can be opened in a spreadsheet program
like Microsoft Excel or loaded into a relational database for more in-depth analysis. Please contact us if you would like to
learn more about either of these important topics.

The gmStudio reports are in the Reporting section of the gmStudio users guide.
