Why should all data collected during a WLAN site survey be included in the survey report as attachments or appendices?

• A. The data should be summarized in the main body.
• B. The data should be stored as a separate attachment for archival purposes.
• C. The data should be discarded after the report is finalized.
• D. The data could be needed in the future.

Answer: (D)

When you run a WLAN site survey, you gather a lot of raw measurements, notes, and device details that underpin the findings. The report should present the conclusions and recommendations, but the raw data provide the evidence behind those conclusions and may be needed again later. Including all data as attachments or appendices makes it easy to reanalyze if requirements change, troubleshoot issues, verify results after environment changes, or support audits. It preserves a trace of how decisions were made, which is valuable for future projects or questions. Merely summarizing in the main body without keeping the data would make it hard to validate or revisit the work if new devices appear or conditions shift.
