Supported Report Formats

When generating a report in GENESIS using the Reports component, you can create multiple report files in the following formats.

  • Excel: Saves the report in the Microsoft Excel format. This format is particularly useful when you need to draw conclusions once you can use Microsoft Excel formulas on it.
  • PDF: Saves the report in the PDF (Portable Document Format) format. This format can be practical in case you need to redistribute the report while blocking the file edition.
  • HTML: Saves the report in the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) format. This format is used for redistributing the report through a web application.
  • CSV: Saves the report in the CSV (Comma Separated Value) format. This format is applicable for integration with third-party applications.

To select the file format(s) for a report:

  1. Open Workbench and in Project Explorer, expand your project > Reports > Configurations, and then expand the desired configuration and double-click the desired report to display its settings.

  2. On the Report Settings tab, navigate to Generate reports as: in the General Properties section, and select the desired report file formats. By default, the Excel, PDF, and HTML formats are selected automatically.

  3. Complete the remaining General Properties settings as desired, and then click Apply.
