Take a look at this article for tips on running the new reports, and this article for detailed information on how to create or modify Custom Reports.Functional Spec (BRD) Report The Functional Spec generates screenshots for all screens, masters, templates, and custom widgets in the iRise project. For each screenshot, all related requirements and a subset of their related attributes (Status, Priority, and Cost) will be displayed in a table below the screenshot.  This report is useful in reviewing the screens and related functional specifications across the entire project.  The report can be generated in three different sizes. 468px is optimized for Word export, 900px is optimized for online review, and the Full Size report is optimized for saving assets to share with downstream teams.UI Spec Report This report includes screenshots for all screens in the iRise project along with styling details for all widgets on the screen. This may be useful for your development team – when they actually start development work based on your work in iRise. The report can be generated with any subset of widget type – for example, just Text widgets for a full text copy review of the project. Screens and CommentsThis report includes screenshots for all screens in the iRise project along with all feedback (comments) related to the screen. This report is useful for reviewing the full history of feedback and to review how, why, and when the screen evolved based on conversation for the screen.
