## Report Sections

Reports are organized top-to-bottom so you can quickly confirm that all Sources were copied and verified (see Figure 1), then drill down into per-source details (See Figure 2).<br>

* **Header**\
  Shows the Report title, date, and optional note, configured in `OffShoot` › `Settings` › `Reports`.
* **Summary**\
  High-level totals for all transferred Sources, including Destinations, files, size, and clips.
* **Sources**\
  List of all transferred Sources with dates, clip and file counts, sizes, verification settings, checksum type, and overall status.
* **Destinations**\
  Aggregated totals per destination, showing how many Sources, files, and total data were transferred and their status.
* **Source Details**

  Per-source transfer details, including file/clip name and duration, sizes, checksums, status per destination, and transfer log name and location.

## Settings

The Reports settings control how OffShoot generates Reports from your Transfer Logs.

* **Logo:** Choose the logo shown at the top of your Report.
* **Title**: Set the title used in the Report header.
* **Note:** Optional note shown after the Report date.
* **Clip Awareness**: Adds clip sections to the Report with thumbnails and metadata. When enabled, OffShoot generates clip thumbnails and extracts media metadata after transfer, using the first Destination.

{% hint style="info" %}
For Pro users, **Clip Awareness** has an extra benefit: it’s not only used to populate the Report, but all of the metadata is also saved in a JSON. Together with [Scripting](/offshoot/features/automation/scripts.md), you can use it to trigger automations and feed data to other downstream apps like a MAM.

### Exclude Transfers from Reports

Reports are generated from all transfers within a selected day folder. If a day includes multiple productions or unrelated transfers, you can control exactly which transfers are included in a Report.

To exclude specific transfers:

1. Open the Transfer Log window and click Show in Finder/Explorer.
2. Enable Show Hidden Files in your file browser.
3. Locate the transfer `.json` files corresponding to the transfers you want to exclude.
4. Move those files to a different folder (you can move them back at any time).
5. Return to OffShoot and generate your report.
