Explanation of fields in response-time reports

To get the most out of your FocalScope reports, it is critical that you understand what data is presented in the various fields of the report. This article will detail what each field in the Response time reports correlates to. These reports can be used to build custom summary reports by using Excel as the front end and pivot tables / charts to represent the report data.
