Exporting to xml

You can export the definition of an individual report to an xml file.

Exported reports have this behavior:

  • Formulas which are specific to Application Studio (e.g. ROC, ROA) are replaced by values. Other formulas are exported.
  • Hidden columns and rows are exported.
  • Areas of the report outside the visible area are exported as hidden columns and rows.
  • If conditional formats are used in the report, only the first three are exported.
  • Objects are not exported.
Note: Actions are exported if you export from Design mode, but not if you export from View mode.

To export a report definition:

  1. Select the mode from which to export.
    To export actions, select Design mode.

    See Design Mode, Debug Mode, and View Mode.

  2. Right-click the report in the report catalog and select Export/Import > Export Report Definition (.xml).
  3. Specify a name for the file and the location to which to export it.
  4. Click Save.
