In every reporting task, you can export your results as a list or as a chart.
Before you begin
- To export generated reports, you need the Print/export reports and Single user print/export privileges.
- To export PDFs with Japanese or Chinese (simplified or traditional) characters on a machine running a Windows OS in a different language, you must install supplemental fonts.
- To include a custom logo with reports that are exported as PDF, you must configure the logo in the Properties tab of the Report Manager role.
What you should know
- If a report does not include images, the maximum number of results you can export in Security Center is 50,000.
- If a report includes images, the maximum number of results you can export in Security Center is 10,000.
- The option to export as a graph is only available if the report is viewed as a visual report, using Charts. The Charts function is not supported for the following reports: Door Troubleshooter, Video File Explorer, and Motion Search.
- To export the report data as a list (CSV, Excel, or PDF format), use the Data option. To export the report data as a chart (JPEG or PNG), use the Graph option. Alternatively, you can select both options to generate a report list and chart.
Tip: If you have the Single user
print/export privilege, you can also automate the export of a report using a
scheduled task. For more information, see Scheduling a task.
Procedure

NOTE: If you do not have the Single user print/export privilege, the Authorization window opens. From here, a second user who does have that privilege must enter their credentials to authorize the export.
