Reports

The Reports tab displays workflow-defined report files matched against published outputs. It appears on the run detail page when a tracker.yml file was found in the run's output directory and at least one report pattern matched.

How Reports Work

1. A workflow author declares report file patterns and display names in a tracker.yml file
2. On workflow completion, Tracker matches the glob patterns against the run's published outputs
3. Matched files appear in the Reports tab

For authoring details, see the tracker.yml developer guide.

Viewing Reports

If multiple reports exist, use the dropdown selector to switch between them. Reports are previewed inline using the same format support as file preview (HTML, PDF, CSV/TSV, images, JSON, text). A "View in new tab" link opens the raw file directly.

Preview Size Limit

File preview is limited to 25 MB.

Deep Linking

Append #reports:N to the run detail URL (0-based index) to link directly to a specific report. Example: /runs/my-run-name/#reports:2 opens the third report.

Easy Sharing

Selecting a report from the dropdown updates the URL automatically. Just copy the URL from your browser's address bar to share a direct link to a specific report.

Disambiguation

When a pattern matches multiple files, Tracker appends the minimum differentiating path segment to the display name. For example, **/multiqc_report.html matching files under sample1/ and sample2/ would display as "MultiQC Report (sample1)" and "MultiQC Report (sample2)".
