The Web Application collects the necessary information and shows an In Progress sign until it finishes.

Once all the required data is available, it can be downloaded as a compressed (zip) file as shown in the screenshot below. A ZIP File Password can be entered which will make the compressed file inaccessible to non-authorized parties.

To run a new collection task that contains the latest information, the current files need to be deleted with the Delete Files button. A new collection task can be started after.
