Choosing a report type

Caliper offers three primary reporting formats for viewing assessment results: Selection Essentials, Coaching Essentials, and the IDG Essentials (Individual Developmental Guide). Shortened selection reports are also available in the form of the Highlights Essentials and Quick View Essentials reports.  You can easily choose and generate these reports right from your Caliper Portal (learn how here). Knowing which report type to choose will help you get the best result from your Caliper experience.
