Interpret Qualification Report (Compact)

The Qualification (Compact) Report concentrates on a Task as a whole, rather than its components.  With less information to be presented (i.e., the statuses of the components and the elapse date for the Task), the report information was able to fit in a portrait layout as opposed to a landscape layout, allowing more lines to a page, resulting in less pages.

The Qualification Report has long been known to be the most useful, and most widely used, report.  However, with all of its summaries, it is also one of the largest reports to generate (in number of pages).

Another difference between the Qualification and Qualification (Compact) Reports is seen in its summaries.  Compared to a regular Qualification Report, with each summary section taking up 10 lines of space on a page, the Qualification (Compact) Report summaries have been reduced to 3 lines each.  The end result of this compaction is that a report that is normally comprised of 29 pages (Qualification Report) becomes 14 pages (Qualification - Compact Report).
