# Interactive Reports
Interactive Reports transforms traditional PDF deliverables into a rich digital format where clients can filter findings by risk level, see transparent proof of work with audit trails, track real-time investigation progress with court runner ETAs, and export data in multiple formats—eliminating the need to open individual PDFs to identify which subjects have relevant findings.
Beginning **March 1st, 2026**, all new reports will be delivered with Interactivity in the Vcheck platform. \*Traditional PDF reports will still be available for download.
### Navigating Interactive Reports
At the top of the interactive report, you will see identifying information about your subject, the scope ordered, jurisdictions searched, and a summary of all findings across in this subject's report.
#### Interactive Report - Findings Summary
Findings are automatically organized by **High risk, Moderate risk,** and **Informational findings.** To quickly review findings, you can use the arrow on the right of the cards to quickly review findings in that risk category.
Want to learn more about a particular finding? Click on the card to jump right to that finding in the report.
Click "**View Full Report**" or simply scroll down to review each section of the report.
#### Sort & Filter
Scroll down the report to review sections one by one or click a section name to jump right to that section. All sections are visible by default, but you can also **sort** and **filter** to narrow down your view by section(s) or by risk severity.
Although there may be multiple findings in each section, the icon next to the section name will indicate the most severe finding type found in that particular section.
#### Section Tabs
Each sections contain the following tabs
* **Results:** A clear summary of the finding
* **Search Audit:** A list of jurisdictions and sources searched, aliases cross-referenced, and results found.
* **Documents:** Direct access to all supporting documents linked to the finding – no need to dig through PDFs to locate information
### Benefits of Interactive Reports
With real-time updates and full transparency into the investigation process, you always know what's been searched, what's in progress, and what's complete.
Findings are automatically summarized and sorted by risk level so critical information surfaces immediately, without having to dig through dozens of PDFs. Interactive Reports gives you instant visibility into every risk finding across the report with audit-ready proof of work, so your team can make faster, more confident decisions.
### FAQs
**Can I export data to analyze in Excel or other tools?**
Available for certain project scopes, the Findings Matrix allows you to view, expand to see findings by jurisdiction, and export findings table into an excel supported format to perform your own analysis, aggregate across multiple projects, or integrate into your internal systems.

Supporting documents are linked directly to each finding in the platform. Click into any criminal record, civil filing, or news mention to view the full source document immediately. No downloading or searching required.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.vcheckglobal.com/products/background-checks/interactive-reports.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
