How to print a report

From the Reports section, select the report template you want to print out and click the Print button.

How to save a report as PDF/HTML file

From the Reports section, select the report template you want to print out and click Quick Save.

Then specify the folder you want the report file to be saved to.

How to send reports by e-mail, create a shareable link, upload to an FTP

To be able to send reports by e-mail or publish them online, first, you need to create a publishing profile. Go to Preferences - Publishing Profiles and click Add Profile.

Then choose to create one of the following publishing profile types:

• Publish online and send the access URL via e-mail;
• Email as an attachment;
• Save to your hard drive;
• Upload onto a website via FTP

After you've selected a publishing profile type, click Next and follow the steps to connect your e-mail/FTP account to the software.

Once finished, you will see a new publishing profile appear on the list of available profiles. 

This way you can create multiple publishing profiles that will let you publish your reports in different ways.

After you've set up your publishing profiles, go back to the Reports section, click Publish, and choose the publishing profile that you want to use to publish your report.

To export raw project data into a spreadsheet, you may use one of the following methods available in the Enterprise version.

Exporting raw data

Quick CSV Export

Switch to the section you wish to export your results from and click the Quick CSV Export button. The software will export currently visible records from the workspace into a CSV file.

Then specify the folder you want the CSV file to be saved to.

Exporting Into CSV/TXT, HTML, SQL, XML

1. Go to File > Export.

2. Choose the preferred export format.

3. Specify the symbol that should be used as a delimiter.

The delimiter will separate columns in the export file. Most spreadsheets use comma as the default delimiter, so you may leave this symbol for your export file, too.

4. Select columns to be exported.

 

5. Check the preview to see how the results will be arranged in the export file.

6. Give a name to the export template - the template will be saved in your software settings.

7. Select the report template you wish to use to export your results. 

You may create multiple report templates with different settings, so next time you decide to export project results or schedule an export task, you won't need to fill in the above steps anew, but just choose the required report template from the list.

8. In the next step, hit Finish, then select the folder the export file will be saved to.

Copying Data To Clipboard

In any version of the software (free, Pro or Enterprise), you can copy the visible data from workspaces manually, and then paste it into any document. To do so, you can select records in any workspace, right-click on the selection, and hit Copy To Clipboard. In the Prospects module, you can manage workspaces to display/hide any columns.

If you're not willing to customize the workspace for copying, or if you only need a part of the data from the workspace, you can select only certain columns: hold ALT on your keyboard, and select the records in a certain column you need. Make sure to copy the selected data with CTRL+C, as the custom selection will be reset if you use the right-click.

If you need to select only certain columns, but they are not situated next to each other, you can hold ALT+CTRL and select the records in required columns. Then also copy the data with CTRL+C.

You can paste the data you copied into any document or spreadsheet with CTRL+V or Paste option then.
