Export Report Template
The Export Report Template option enables you to
export a report, or several selected reports, from
Collect! to an external *.rpt ASCII text file. Select Print
from the top menu bar and then select Customize Printing
from the drop-down choices. A submenu will be displayed.
Select Export Report Template.
1. When you select Export Report Template, the
Report Definition list will display all of the reports
that are available for exporting.
2. Choose the report you wish to export. You may also
select several reports at once. The Export Collect! Report
dialog will open so that you may select a location to
save your report in. Please make sure you enter a name
for the file that the report will be saved as.
Please give the report a name that you will
recognize easily. Collect! will give your report an *.rpt
extension. The file will be saved in the directory you
selected. (For example, C:\report templates\myreport.rpt)
3. Next you will get an option to export your printer
control codes. Normally, you would select No.
4. Collect! will let you know if your export was successful
and will display the name and location of the newly
created file. If you selected multiple reports, they will
all be saved to the same *.rpt file.
5. Please refer to How To Export A Report for
further information.
WARNING: Opening your *.rpt file in a word processing
program can corrupt the file if you forget to save it as
Text Only. For safety sake, if you must open the file
outside of Collect!, open it in a very simple text editor
like Notepad.
