You can print your report as a Printable PDF or a Printable HTML. PDF is a final format that cannot be edited. HTML displays your report and prompt filter selection in a separate browser tab.
How to Print Reports
Use the Print hyperlink located below the report to access the print choices. Alternatively you can access the Print command from the Page Options button.
Export Reports
Once you have run a report, you can export the formatted report to a PDF file, or an Excel or Power Point file. All of these selections give you a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) presentation that cannot be edited without significant effort.
If you'd like to further manipulate the data, you can export to a Comma Separated Values (.CSV), Tab Delimited, or XML format. For exporting data, the CSV Format is recommended; it exports unformatted data from all columns, not only the ones visible in the report.
There are, however, a few reports for which Excel may be a good option. These are the Pivot based reports, like Payroll - Absence Management Summary and Undergraduate Applicants - UG Apps by Multiple Fields, where the dashboard report is a pivot of the underlying table. The .CSV export delivers an unpivoted version of the data which may be more challenging to use than the pivot table generated by the Export to Excel alternative.

Bookmarks are the preferred method for sharing data because they generate current data whereas printouts and data exports create snapshots of the data.
