Download a Report (Desktop)

When you download a report, you specify the file format and which pages to download.

You can use Data Export reports to download data into Excel spreadsheets for auditing, custom reporting, and analysis purposes. You print or download Data Export reports the same way that you do other types of reports. The Data Export reports have more limited formatting options, data filtering options, and security than do other types of reports.

  1. On the Navigation pane in Vantagepoint Desktop, click Reporting, and click the type of report.
  2. To select the report, click anywhere in the grid row for that report.
    Both standard and favorite reports are listed in the Reports grid. Favorite reports have either Personal or Global in the Type column.
  3. Click the Options column, and then click .
  4. On the Options dialog box, select the report options and click Apply.
  5. To restrict the records included in the report, click the Selection column in the Reports grid and click .
