Accessing and Using Directory Reports

Directory reports help you refine the M-files in a directory and improve their performance. They are also useful for when you prepare files for use by others, such as for a finished project, to share on MATLAB Central, or for a toolbox to be distributed.

Access directory reports from the MATLAB Current Directory browser. To display the Current Directory browser, select Desktop -> Current Directory. For more information, see Current Directory Browser.

Navigate to the directory whose M-files you want to produce reports about. Then, in the Current Directory browser toolbar, click the down arrow button and select the type of report you want to run for all the M-files in the current directory.

The report you selected appears as an HTML document in the MATLAB Web browser:

In a report, click a filename to open that file in the Editor/Debugger, where you can view it or make changes to it. Click a line number to open the file at that line.
To update a report after making changes to the report options or files, or after changing the current directory, click Refresh at the top of the report.
When you run a report, it replaces the report currently displayed. Use the Back and Forward buttons in the toolbar to see a previously run report and then return to the most recent.

You cannot run directory reports when the path is a UNC (Universal Naming Convention) pathname, that is, starts with \\. Instead, use an actual hard drive on your system, or a mapped network drive.
