Export to XML dialog

This dialog appears when you click File > Export To > XML on the menu bar. It helps you to export a report to XML format. See the dialog.

The following are details about options in the dialog:

Export to

Specifies the file name and directory where you want to store the exported XML file.

Schema File Name

Specifies the directory and the name of an existing XML schema (.xsd) file. If you specify an existing XML schema file, the exported XML file, the generated XML file that is to be exported will be based on it. Otherwise, a new XML schema file will be generated to the directory where the exported XML file is to be exported. The new XML schema file and the exported XML file will have the same name but with different extensions.

Only Data

• If checked, the exported XML file will only contain the database column information. The exported XML schema file will only contain the structure information of the report.
• If unchecked, the exported XML file will also contain elements controlled by formulas, and the exported XML schema file will contain all the detailed information from the report, including all the property values of each report object.

Run Linked Report

If the report is linked with other reports, you can check whether or not to generate the linked reports in the exported XML file. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this option unchecked. Generating linked reports at the same time, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data, will cause performance issue.
