Export Restrictions

When exporting your reports and statements the following restrictions apply.

Restriction
PDF Non-Latin characters are not currently supported in exported reports and statements.

If the number of columns contained in your report exceeds the limit of the page layout, these columns are spread out across multiple pages. This can lead to columns associated with each other for reporting purposes being disassociated in the exported report. To avoid this problem, we recommend you select the Add Row Identifiers to Exported File option. This inserts a row index number for each row of your report.
CSV, XLSX To avoid errors, we recommend you do not try to export unconfigured reports using these file formats.
