DubBot provides many reporting options once your site has been inventoried. All downloadable information is shared in a Common Separated Value (CSV) format to open in your favorite software. Names for CSV downloads will be unique to the day and type of the download.
In this article, CSV Reports are available for download...

The Pages Summary Report lists all pages inventoried in the Site or Page Set. The report includes the following data: page ID, URL, title, description, DubBot URL, and view in (CMS) link if configured for your site.
For each of the six issue types listed, there are two report links given:
The Summary Report lists all the issues found within that type. Each issue is noted with the number of pages affected within the Site(s).
The Full List Reports list all pages flagged for that type of issue. For each page, the report contains the live URL, page title, issue description, URL within DubBot, matched content (where applicable), and view in CMS link if configured for your site.
The Ignored Issues Report is available to users with the Administrator role.
For each item ignored, the following information is given: timestamp, user, scope, issue type, issue ID, element location, element source, and DubBot URL.
There is no configuration needed to download these reports. These reports cannot be customized.
Reports Grouped by Issue
Selecting the # issues found link in an Issue Panel will take you to a list of the issue types found within a Site or Page Set. How you can filter the information depends on the category of issue selected:
Accessibility: Page issues tested or Page issues found ; Issue Level (A/AA/AAA/508)
Broken Links: Broken Link Reason, ex. 404
Web Governance: Policies or Flagged Words
Best Practices: Page issues tested or Page issues found
Search Engine Optimization: Page issues tested or Page issues found
List Every Page with an Issue Type
Selecting the # pages link in an issue category panel will take you to a list of pages where the issue was found in the Site or Page Set. From the Page Detail Panel, you can filter to a particular issue in the category for your report.
Trend Reports
The Site Overview panel and each of the specific Issue Panels have a Trends link, shown by the chart icon to the right of the numerical score in each panel.
Trends show the changes to scores over time, allowing you to check and share progress made on your Sites and Page Sets. Select the chart icon to view the trends for the issue and download a CSV file.
Policy Results
Reporting the results of policies on a site is a frequent request from our clients so they can monitor progress and share with others.
