File formats
This section describes the file formats to which you can export reports, and the particularities of these formats.
When exporting a report to PDF, HTML, and Excel files, automatic column alignment is applied. Columns with text (names of sensors, commands, geofences, drivers, and users, event text, SMS, unit location, etc.) are left-aligned. Columns with numerical data (time, duration, speed, mileage, fuel, payments, quantity, etc.) are right-aligned. The names of tables and columns are centred.
HTML
If you select the HTML format, the report is saved as a web page. You can open it in any internet browser installed on the computer.
PDF
PDF reports are well-suited for printing.
When exporting the report to a PDF file, the following additional options are available:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Page orientation | Select the page orientation: portrait or landscape. |
