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:
