   • Click Password Settings and specify a strong password. 
     Note: A strong password contains a mix of letters (upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols, no ties to your personal information, and no dictionary words. We strongly recommend you to use password protection for records that store sensitive PII (Personally identifiable information) and ePHI (Electronic protected health information) data.
   • Retype the password to confirm it.
   • You can also click Clear password and enter a new password.

   • Select a different file type if required under the Export As section.
   • Select the required view — List view (default) or Detail view. 
     • List view: The records will be exported in a table-like format as shown in the current view, where the field labels are in the header row and the records are listed in the subsequent rows similar to the Quick view in reports.
     • Summary view: The records will be exported in a layout that enables you to see the detailed view of the record in a linear manner. You will be able to see all the fields and their congruent as label and value pairs. If you select the summary view option, proceed to step 5 (you will not be able to select the required columns in this option).
       Note: If you have configured a record template for your report and when the summary view option is selected, then the record template will be exported as the detailed (summary) view of each record in your report.
   • Click the arrow beside Columns selection and select the field columns to be exported. By default, Quick view fields will be selected. You can also choose the All Fields option from here. 

     Note:

   Note: The page setup options chosen in your record template will be pre-filled in the Page Settings tab.
6. Select the paper size and orientation (Portrait or Landscape) as required.
7. Choose the required scaling:
   • Actual width - This option will print the columns/field-value pairs with their actual width in live mode onto the selected paper size. There might be instances where some columns might be cut off after export.
   • Fit to page width - This option will shrink all columns to the selected paper size. In case you have chosen Detail view, this option will not display any visible changes since there will be only two columns (records are shown as label and value pairs in Detail View).
   • If the Custom option is chosen, you must specify the required scaling value (%). The scaling value helps to zoom out the entire report and print all the columns with proper readable width onto the selected paper size. 
8. Specify the margin values for all four corners — top, right, bottom, and left.
9. If you want to display a header in your exported file, tick the checkbox beside Header Position and specify the fields (report name, date and time, and page number) to be displayed in the left, center, and right sides of your PDF file in the header.
