Export a Report

Report data can be exported into downloadable PDF, Word document, and spreadsheet files. However, there are some restrictions, depending on the file format and element type. All links and file attachments are disabled in exported report files.

Exported report data is cached based on the last time the report was loaded. To ensure the files reflect the most recent data, click the refresh icon on the report or refresh your browser before exporting.

PDFs

Tables, charts, heat maps, repeatable forms, and free form text can be exported into a PDF file. The PDF file will reflect any page breaks added to the report canvas by an administrator.

Word Documents or Spreadsheets

Only table reports can be exported into a document or spreadsheet. If the report contains other report elements, only the table data will be exported.

This timestamp appears on exported files and is updated when the report is reloaded or refreshed. To ensure your exported report files reflect the most recent data, click the icon on the report or refresh your browser before exporting.
