Exporting/Printing the report result

When you finish editing a web report, you may want to export it to other formats or have it printed.

Exporting the report result

You can export the report result as a result version or as a local file in these formats: HTML, PDF, Text, Excel, RTF, XML, and PostScript.

1. Click Menu > File > Export (or the Export button on the Standard toolbar) to display the Export dialog. See the dialog.

   

2. In the File Name field, specify the name of the exported result file.
3. Specify the destination of the result:
   • View Report Result: The result will be directly opened in the web browser if the format is supported by a plug-in of the web browser; otherwise it will prompt you to save the result file.
   • Save to File System: The web browser will prompt you to save the result file to a specified folder. If selected, you need to provide a name for the result file in the File Name field.
   • Save to Version System: The result will be saved as a result version in JReport Server's versioning system.
4. From the Select Format drop-down list, select the format in which to export the result.
