Browser Export

Application Scenario

After you select the file format of the to-be-exported report, the file content is generated in the server memory based on the report content and is directly pushed to the client through Servlet.

The following table describes the supported export formats on the browser.

Function Description

You can preview a template and click Export on the toolbar to export the template as a file in multiple formats, as shown in the following figure.

Note:

If parameters exist in the template, you need to query data before clicking Export.

This document introduces how to export a report through the example of exporting GettingStartedEN.cpt as a PDF file.

Template Opening

Open the report in the path %FR_HOME%\webroot\WEB-INF\reportlets\GettingStartedEN.cpt.

Export Button Setting

Choose Template > Web Attribute > Pagination Preview, set Following Settings to Set for This Template Separately, and double-click Export. You can see that the Export button is added on the toolbar, as shown in the following figure.

Note:

This button is added to the toolbar by default. You do not need to add the button separately. If you delete the button manually, you can refer to the above steps to add it again.

Browser Export

Click Pagination Preview, select a parameter, and click Query, as shown in the following figure.

Note:

The report export result is consistent with the actual effect in the preview mode. Therefore, you need to set parameter values and query data before export.

Click Export on the report toolbar and select PDF from the drop-down list. An animation displaying the export process pops up. After the uploading is finished, the PDF file is exported successfully, as shown in the following figure.
