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 customize the logo, header, and footer for PDF reports, configure the appropriate settings in the Properties tab of the Report Manager role. For more information, see Configuring the Report Manager role.
What you should know
- 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
-
At the top of the report pane, click Export report
(
).
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.
