# Report Browser

Report Browser contains features and layout panels for building extraction models and exporting extracted data.

There are two main panels in a Report Browser panel:

* Model Layout panel
* Data Export Settings panel

## Model Layout

The Model layout panel displays the layout of your report model or extraction template. It contains data regions and fields built according to a custom extraction logic.

You can add and delete regions and fields, edit their properties, and export data directly to an excel sheet, a CSV file, or a database table using the options available in this window.

In the figure below, you can see an extraction model that has a hierarchical structure. This model contains a single instance region (*Account\_Info*) as well as collection regions (*Orders\_Info* and *Order\_Details*).

There are icons placed at the top of the Model Layout panel. These icons enable you to perform various tasks. A brief description for each of these icons is given in the table below:

## Data Export Settings

Options provided in the Data Export Settings panel enable users to export data to an Excel sheet, a CSV file, or a database table. The exported data can then be used in various flow documents (a dataflow, a workflow, or a subflow).

The icons placed on the top of the Data Export Settings panel perform different functions related to data export. A brief description for each of these icons is given in the table below:
