Reporting on Locations with QuickStats Reports

QuickStats Reports provide easy access to key statistics on a specific location. A location can be selected from a previously imported location list or by adding a location to the map using the Map Click option. This output is useful for analyzing areas on the fly, allowing you to easily visualize current and potential location data on a map.
