Exporting a Report

You must first generate a report before you can export it. Click here to learn more about how to generate a report. Once the report is generated, it can then be exported to other applications.

Note: Although the BASSnet system supports entries other than the Roman alphabet (in free text fields and Reason, Comment, Remark, and Description fields), non-Roman alphabet letters such as Unicode characters will be displayed as symbols in reports generated and displayed in the Crystal Reports Viewer. This is due to a third party tool limitation in Crystal Reports. To work-around this limitation, you can first export the report containing Unicode characters to a Microsoft Word file instead of PDF. Subsequently, if the same Microsoft Word file is then converted to PDF format, the Unicode characters will be correctly displayed. Documents generated in the Crystal Reports Viewer or in the system's back-end by Crystal Reports will also display Unicode characters as symbols if you attach them to emails (in PDF file format) using the system's 'Email' feature.
