Exporting Reports

There are two techniques to access report data from other applications.

• If you want to access reports from Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word, then you can use the SmartSimple Plug-Ins for Microsoft Office for these applications to access report data.
• If you want to export the report data to any other data format (for example comma separated values), then you can use the Export settings for the report to create the file format required.
• You can also use this technique to create a MS-Excel or MS-Word file, without the need to use the Plug-In application.

Using these techniques, it is possible to support applications as diverse as accounting (invoice transactions), payroll (timesheet transaction), or statistical work (web form transactions).
