Simple Exports

Summary

The simple Excel export can be used to export the contents of a single chart or table to an Excel file. This type of report is equivalent to selecting Export to Excel on a chart while running Vital Signs interactively.

• A single selection is allowed
• File level banding is supported
• Excel is not required to be installed on the server.

Setting Up a Simple Excel Export in DocumentDistribution

Add an entry to the DocumentDistribution file with the following fields:

DocumentName	Name of the Vital Signs Application (qvw file)
ExportType	Export
Definition	QlikView Object ID
OutputFileName	Name of the Excel file to be created (*)
FileExistsAction	Purge
Selection	Optional: Name of the selection
Banding	Optional: Name of the Banding Field
PrinterName	This field is ignored for QlikView PDF reports
EmailList	List of email recipients, separated by a semi-colon

(*) By default, the file is created in the same directory as the Vital Signs application file (usually vitalsigns/CUNAME)
