In TestStand, reports are generated with lowered indentation based on the sequence call steps. How can I disable indentation in report file?
The indentation property is set in the report style sheet. To disable this indentation, you need to modify the indentation property in the corresponding style sheet.

  1. To check the report template (Style Sheet) used in your TestStand software,  go to Configure>>Result Processing.
