6.8. Saving a report

A report can be saved as a live report, a live document or as a fixed document in the database or in the file system. Before saving for the first time, you have the option of specifying the directory in the database, a tree node, the authorization and the name of the report. If you wish to save a report again, you can specify the type of the report again using the menu item "Save as...".

To save the report in the local file system, use the menu item "Report->Export->File system".

You can save the report in different file formats:

Reports of the type Live Document and Fixed Document can be saved in an empty database (Microsoft Access Firebird). If you have worked with the client-server version of OMNITREND Web, you can also save the report in an existing database.

To do so, you must assign a name to the file in the "Save" dialog box and confirm with the "Save" button.

A new dialog box is then displayed where you can define the report types, assign a name and select a directory within the database. In the "Select directory" dialog box you can also create directories, rename them, cut & paste them and delete them.
