MadCap Flare is packed with features. The reporting functionality built into Flare offers tremendous insight into your project(s) for both authors and management teams. MadCap Flare offers two different report types: “Static Reports” and “Dynamic” Reports.

  • "Static" Reports can be generated, styled, printed and archived so that data throughout the documentation cycle is not lost. There are 66 FREE static reports available in MadCap Flare, plus eight additional reports that are available when MadCap Analyzer is installed.
  • “Dynamic” Reports or Scans are interactive reports that allows you to double-click to open the topic with the issue or at times fix the issue with options available in the report itself. Seven of these reports are available in MadCap Flare for free; more or these unique reports and other scans are available in MadCap Analyzer.
