Exporting Reports in Data Prep Studio

You can export a report to a text file in Monarch Data Prep Studio. The steps in setting up a report export are detailed below.

Setting up a report export

  1. Click the Export tab to display the Export window.

  2. Click the Add Export button located to the right of the table you wish to export as a report, and from the options that display, select an export format.

    You can export tables to the following formats:

    • Text

    • PDF

The table you selected displays in the Export Management panel and its properties display in the Export Properties panel.

 

  1. Rename the export if you wish by clicking on the Edit button located to the left of the Export name and then entering a new name into the field.

  2. Specify general export settings as necessary. The table below describes these settings.

Note: Credentials for cloud-based storage systems can be specified in the Server section of The Application Default Settings.

Export Location

All

This setting describes where the export file will be saved and what its name will be. Enter the path and name of the export file. You can embed macros (of the form &[macro]) in the file name.

When file exists

All

This setting specifies what Data Prep Studio should do if a file with the same name exists in the folder you specified in the Export Location field. Select an action if the export file already exists:

  • Overwrite the file
  • Skip the export operation
  • Append records to the existing file

NOTE: Exports to PDF do not support appends to existing tables.

Encoding Type

This setting specifies which encoding type to apply to the text file. At present, the encoding types Code Page, UTF-8, UTF-16LE, and UTF-16BE are accepted.

Code Page

  • Text

When the encoding type selected is Code Page, this setting specifies which code page to apply to the CSV file.

Append DOS end-of-file character (x1A)

  • Text

This setting instructs the application to add a DOS EOF character to the export file.

Insert page breaks

  • Text

This field describes where page breaks will be added in the export file. It also has the option to not add page breaks at all. The following options are available:

  • Between first page and between pages
  • Never
  • Between pages only

Automatically Select All Reports

All

This setting instructs the application to automatically include all reports associated with the table in the export file. 

Select report(s)

All

This setting shows all reports contained in the table being exported. Select the checkboxes of the reports you want to add to the export file.

Page Setup

  • PDF

You can modify the margins, page size, and paper orientation of report exports by clicking the Page Setup button. The default values of these settings are indicated in the Default Table Page Setup tab of the Current Workspace Settings dialog.

Text Encoding

  • PDF

This setting specifies which type of text encoding to apply to the export file. The accepted text encoding types are Western, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. To use the default setting, choose Use current system locale.

Encryption Type

  • PDF

This setting specifies which encryption type to apply to the export file. The following options are available:

  • AES (128-bit): Encrypts the export file with the Advanced Encryption Standard. If you choose this encryption method, Adobe Acrobat 7 or higher must be used to open the export file, as earlier versions of Acrobat do not support AES encryption.
  • RC4 (128-bit): Encrypts the export file with RC4 encryption. Note that this option is not recommended for extremely confidential data. Use the AES option instead.
