Building
Reports with SPIN
After
using SPIN to search for funding opportunities, you may want to
save some of your results; the best way to do so is to create a
report. This section will show you how to create a report and save
or print it.
- To
create a report detailing the results found from your search,
first click the check box to the right of an entry for inclusion
in the report. You can select as many entries as you would like.
-
At
the bottom of the search results page is a set of options
for the Report. Report Options determine how
much information will be included in the report . Destination
Options determine whether the report opens in another
window or is saved to your computer. See Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Report Tools
- Once
you have selected your desired options, click on
to create the report. Figure 2 below shows how a sample
report using Full Program information appears when the
Display to Browser/Print option is selected. A report
using summary information will look similar in appearance, but
will be shorter due to the condensed information format.
 |
If
you selected the Save to File option, a window will
open asking you where you would like to save it. The file
will be in .rtf format (Rich Text Format) and will open with
Microsoft Word or other word processing software. It can then
be opened and/or printed later. |
