A User Guide to Reports in Sonatype CLM

In some implementations of Sonatype CLM, not everyone will have access to the CLM Server or any of the integrated enforcement points, and in turn, any of the associated reports. However, certain individuals or teams would likely still benefit from the information the CLM Report provides. Even if that’s not your particular situation, you may reach a point where you would like to produce an archive of a report for historical and audit purposes. Given this need, every report you produce with Sonatype CLM can be converted into a PDF.
