Export as Report

Export as Report

Within Collection Views, users can add an 'export as report' action which creates a business-friendly report available for download. The report differs from a standard CSV download by only returning attributes predetermined by the user either by what they have displayed in the View or what has been specified in the settings. Reports also display related objects Names rather than ID. Please note that these cannot be re-imported like a standard CSV.

 

 

To add the Export as Report action to your view please follow these steps.

          1. Under 'Customization' open the 'Actions' accordion and click 'Add Action'

           

          2. Select 'Report'

          

          3. Choose a name and location for your Action. By default, all of your Display Attributes configured for the view are added to the report. You can remove or add Report Attributes without affecting the Display Attributes of your view.

          

          4. Click 'Save' and your Action will be added to the View
