-
Classes Data
If selected, the Report panel shows information about resource types whose instances exist at the moment the results are being generated. For a detailed description, see Results of the Classes Data Category.
-
Objects
If selected, the Report panel displays results for resource instances. For a detailed description, see Results of the Objects Category.
-
Errors
If selected, the Report panel displays results for errors that occurred in API resource-related functions during the run. For a detailed description, see Results of the Errors Category.
When you select an object or a memory block in the Report panel, you can view additional information in the Details panel. For a detailed description of the Resource profiler panels, refer to the Resource Profiler Panels Reference.
