Clicking the Run and Export icon re-executes the SQL query to ensure that the latest data is fetched from database. The updated report gets exported to the selected format. However, the report does not refresh in the viewer.

The export option supports the PDF, MS Word, and MS PowerPoint formats.

  3. Choose the destination from local file system where you want to save the reports.
  4. Provide a name for the report and click Save.
  5. Click OK.

    The export process is complete now and you can view the saved report.
