A Note About Organizing your Supporting Files

The preferences you select will be stored for future recall when you create another evidence report. This allows to establish a standardized style for your report for a professional result. Any supporting files, such as title page or a NIST calibration report should be stored somewhere on your computer or network so that they can be accessed any time, not just in your current case folder. Note that only files which are present when they were attached to an evidence marker will be accessible when you generate an evidence report.
