Export report

The EDC reports system is a tool to keep track of all the user activity and data amendments occurring across the system. With the export feature, you can download the report data to your computer and use it as per your business need, for example, to reenter data in another system or share it with stakeholders.

To export the report

  1. In the EDC application header, select the REPORTS tab.

  2. On the page that opens, in the left pane, select the subtab of your interest to expand the list of available reports and then select the one you want to export.

    • The Export dialog appears in which you need to select the preferred option according to your needs and then select export_button_white_red.png to initiate the data extraction.

      Tip

      For some reports, it is possible to choose to download all data or the filtered version, and for some, you can also select the preferred format—XLSX, CSV, SAS, PDF, or else. There also can be a timestamp format preference—generate the report with time and date as one value or as two separate ones.
