Features Create Reports with Images
Do you have a photograph of the slick? Then it's easy; import the image, apply a scale, trace over it using the drawing tools and then select the oil appearance image. The software records and updates the estimates as you go.
Features Other Input Options
No photographs? No problem; draw a scaled image of the slick without a background or use the Pie Chart option. You can also use a map or chart of the area as background to help you create a representation of the slick.
Features Generate Reports
Have you ever been asked to explain 'how did you calculate the quantity?' Reports are generated with statutory reporting forms or generic formats, and backed up by a visual representation of the data inputs used. So, the Command Centre or the Authorities don't just have to take your word for it, they can see it for themselves.
Features Enhance your Reports
Reports are enhanced by a full range of markers, standard terms and symbols. These can be added, edited, catalogued and numbered as you want. You can use these to enhance the presentation of your reports and are useful for the recording of information for debriefing and historical purposes.
