Usage
Delta Reports (also known as Trend Reports) are used to describe how some specific object or value is changing over time. For example, how ROM Memory Usage is changing during the project.
There are several different reports for deltas that can be generated:
- Component Deltas
- Memory Deltas
- Memory Segment Deltas
Each of this report can be generated in two different formats: as .txt and .csv
In order to get them, go to Database → Delta Reports
to open the nested Reports Menu and pick one of the options.
