Content descriptions are described below image.
The Reports generated by SpecsIntact are designed as quality control tools for the project. The ability to read and understand all the reports is essential to releasing a completed specification at 100%. It is the responsibility of the specification editor to point out problems indicated in the reports to the engineers so they can correct the problems in the specs. Always check for typographical errors first before considering a reported error an actual discrepancy.
You choose to generate a report by clicking it to place a check in the
box beside it. If you want to run all the reports, click the Select All
button. The documents generated are .rpt files and can be printed or viewed.
They are placed in the Processed Files folder under the Job in the SI
Explorer, indicated by a gray icon 
.
The available Verifications Reports are Address, Reference, Submittal, Bracket and Section. These reports are selected by default. Other available reports are Reference Location, Test Requirement, Submittal List and Submittal Register.
To
learn more about the reports, their functions and how to correct the problems

Guide.
After
correcting errors detected through these reports, it is important to run
the reports again to make certain that all previous errors have been
resolved and that no additional ones have occurred.
