Export Report

In Wyn Enterprise, you can export a report to various types of file formats, such as pdf, excel, word, csv, html, image, json, txt, xml, and excel data, or to a custom export template. When the report is exported to the desired file format, important information can be backed up on your system, duplicate copies can be created to save reports in different file formats, and more.


The below sections describe the different ways to export a report in Wyn Enterprise.

Exporting Reports from the Report Viewer

Follow the below steps to export a report while previewing.

  1. In the Report Viewer, click the Export button on the top-right corner of the viewer to expand the Export panel on the right side of your screen. By default, the Delivery Type in the Export settings is set as Export.

  2. Now, select a suitable file format from the list. For example, select Word as the export format and then, click the Advanced Settings checkbox to set the export properties of the selected format.

    Note: In the export panel, the Table of Contents tab is displayed only if the report has a Table Of Contents control with mapped labels for the containing report elements. Similarly, the Parameters tab is displayed if the report requires a user input parameter.

  3. You can set the advanced properties of the selected export format. Click the Export button to export the report.

    Export settings for each export format are different.

    Note: Advanced settings like Title, Author, and Category are mapped to the report name, creator of the report, and allocation of the category in Document Portal respectively. Title, Author, and Category properties are available in the PDF, Word, and Excel export formats. The above mentioned advanced settings were introduced in the Wyn Enterprise release version v6.1. Wyn Enterprise provides support for dynamic file names while exporting. A dynamic file name uses an expression to reference the values based on the preview result. See Modify Exported Report Name section for more information.

  4. Your report will be exported to the Downloads folder of your system.

Exporting Reports from the Documents List

Typically, the exporting process from the Documents list is carried out in three main steps – select the export format, enter the report parameters if any, and export the report.

  1. On the Document Portal, select the report you want to export.

  2. Click the Ellipses button next to the selected report, and select the Export option from the list.

Manage Sheets in RDL Report's Excel Export

Using the SheetMode property of Excel Export (in the advanced Excel export settings), you can specify splitting of the RDL report content into sheets. If the Label property is also set for report sections in RDL reports, which is used to display document map labels for the report sections in TOC, you can further manage sheets in the exported reports.

The SheetMode property consists of following values:

PagePerSheet: Each report section is exported to its separate sheet using the default sheet names (Sheet1,Sheet2, etc.). Note that Pagination property must be set to True.

SectionPerSheet: Each report section is exported to its individual sheet named accordingly to its Label property.

SingleSheet: The whole report is exported to a single sheet.
