Once you have completed your investigation and need to archive your case, the most efficient method is to use the Stand Alone Viewer, which can be found within the reporting module. This viewer provides an all-in-one solution that includes a self-contained folder with a standalone application that gives you the ability to view the results. It is independent of the ADF suite of tools and does not require a license to use. By using the Stand Alone Viewer, you can be sure that all tags, comments, filters, and sorting will be included in the output. Please note that it is not possible to run the Stand Alone Viewer from read-only storage devices such as CDs or DVDs.

The Standalone Viewer option is a simple and efficient method for archiving your scan results. It outputs all of the relevant data into a self-contained folder that includes a standalone application for viewing the results. This application is entirely independent of the ADF suite of tools and can be run on any Windows computer where the user has sufficient privileges. One of the best things about this method is that you do not need a license to view the reports, making it an accessible option for all investigators.

Moreover, the Standalone Viewer ensures that all tags, comments, filters, and sorting that have taken place during the initial review are included in the output.
