Hi,
I have been struggling to find if this feature is supported. Our requirement is to save the report output with data to a standard format which can be opened again and again by the report viewer. The report output will contain all the data required for the viewer to display, so will not need to retrive the data again.
Can you explain if this feature is supported and what will be the file format?
Thanks!

Export report result to a standard format
Hello,
In order to keep creating report for further loading and editing you must select the Document File format. When choosing this format the Save... window will be called where you need to specify the path to save the document, File Name, File Type. There are three types of files that can be saved to keep the report for later download. These are *. mdc, *. mdz, *. mdx. Files of the *. mdc type are not packed and not encrypted standard documents. Files of the *. mdz type are packed, but not encrypted documents. Files of the *. mdx type are packed and encrypted documents. When saving a report built in file type *. mdz the report generator saves the report in paper and packs (compresses) it. When you save the built in the file type *. mdx the report generator saves the report in paper packs, and it opens the Password window, in which you need to specify a password for the packed document.
Any saved report is available for opening in the viewer. Click the Open button in the Viewer, which will cause opening the Open window. In this window, select the file type: *. mdc, *. mdz, *. mdx. Since the *. mdc file type is a standard document (not packed and not encrypted), the report generator simply loads it in the viewer. When opening an *. mdz file type, since this type is compressed, the report generator will extract it first, and then load it in the report viewer. If the file type is *. mdx, i.e. is packed and encrypted, then when you open this file type, the Password window will be called, where you need to specify a password to decrypt the report. If the password is correct, then the report will be decrypted, decompressed and loaded in the viewer. If a password is not correct, then the report generator notifies the user in an error message.
Thank you.
