Output Formats

Before you run a report in Report Template Builder, you must select an output format. When the report is run, it is then displayed in the registered application appropriate to the format you selected, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer for HTML output, Microsoft Word for RTF output, Microsoft Excel for comma-delimited TEXT output, or Adobe Acrobat for PDF output. When you run a report, files are automatically generated and saved using the file format of the report viewer.

Select an output format based on your requirements for publishing, distributing, or keeping a record of your models.
