Step 20 |
Click View Report to view the report or download the report in PDF format using the Download option. Report generation for any selected config is a one-time activity and cannot be regenerated. This ensures that the history of transitions is maintained and can be referred anytime. If you want to edit the config and generate the report, you can clone the transition.
