Exporting/Printing the Web Report Result
When you finish editing a web report, you may want to export it to other formats or have it printed. This topic describes how you can export or print the web report result.
Exporting the Web 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.
- Select Menu > File > Export, or select the Export button
on the toolbar. Server displays the Export dialog box.
- In the File Name field, type the name of the exported result file.
- Specify the destination of the result:
- View Report Result: Server opens the result directly in the web browser if a plug-in of the web browser supports the format; otherwise it prompts you to save the result file.
- Save to File System: Server prompts you to save the result file to a specified folder. You need to provide a name for the result file in the File Name field.
- Save to Version System: Server saves the result as a result version in the versioning system.
- From the Select Format drop-down list, select the format in which to export the result.
- To specify the additional settings of the selected format, select More Options.

Tip: Before exporting a report, you can customize the page properties for each exported result according to your requirement. For more information, see Setting up the report page.
Printing the Web Report Result
- Select Menu > File > Print, or select the Print button
on the toolbar. Server displays the Print dialog box.
