Exporting and printing features give users full control over how reports are shared, stored, and repurposed across platforms and formats.
Exporting and printing functionality in reporting components is a core requirement for many software applications, particularly those used in business, finance, and analytics. These capabilities enable users to transform dynamic, on-screen reports into portable or hard-copy formats suitable for distribution, archiving, or further processing. High-performance reporting tools offer flexible export and print options to accommodate various workflows, whether for regulatory compliance, client communications, or internal documentation. Support for a broad range of output formats ensures that users can interact with report content in the way that best suits their needs.
Common features include:
