All sections

The WHAT_CHECK report is divided in two chapters, and each chapter in a series of sections. In this part of the WHAT_CHECK user course you get an overview of the content of each section.

The first chapter gives a bit of general introduction, while the second chapter is the actual report. The remainder of this web page will run parallel with those chapters and sections.
