Export report to file

The export/system-save feature saves the data of a report configuration to the system as a file. By saving to the system, you can refer back to your reports, share them with other users, or download to a device at any time.

Commonly-used file formats are supported: Comma-separated values (CSV), Portable Document Format (PDF), Microsoft Excel (XLS/XLSX), and eXtensible Markup Language (XML).

When exporting to Microsoft Excel, counts and totals are saved using Excel formulas. In this way, counts and totals will remain consistent with subsequent offline editing of the data.

Note

In Excel, the maximum number of arguments for a formula is 256. Consequently, it is not possible a save report with a formula that exceeds 256 arguments. In such cases, only the value of a count or total is exported and any subsequent editing of the file contents may result in data inconsistencies.
