Assessments and reports (v68)

This section outlines changes to the Assessments and reports manual arising from changes made to Synergetic (versions 67.01-68).

Note: The look and feel of Synergetic depends on the PC it is running on. The screenshots in this manual use both the version 67 and pre-66 look and feel. You may notice a slight difference in appearance between this manual and Synergetic running at your organisation but the functionality is exactly the same.
