Results Viewers

Summary


The Results Viewer feature is available on the Absolute Dashboard as a tool to assist in reviewing each completed section in Absolute. Within the Results tab, there are different viewers corresponding to each section in Absolute. Each viewer can be utilized as a tool to review, analyze, and compare the current year Absolute cost report results for a report to the prior year Absolute cost report data to ensure accuracy and identify variances. The Results Viewer feature is also a useful tool for Reviewers of a report to review the Absolute cost report data without having the risk of changing any of the prepared data.
