Exporting generated reports

In every reporting task, you can export your report after it is generated. 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.
