Use the Tester List to print an index of active testers in the area to provide to customers. Use the Tester Notices to send the selected testers a printed memo. You can print both reports at the same time or you can print them separately, for example, if you want to see who will be receiving a tester notice before the tester notices are actually printed to paper.
