XML is one of the formats to which you can export Data Dynamics Reports from the Viewer.
Options
Data Dynamics Reports offers one option in the dialog to control how the data in the report is transformed to XML.
- Encoding
- Select the encoding schema to use in the XML transformation.
- XslStylesheet
- Select the existing XSL Stylesheet file to use to transform the resulting XML file.
 |
Note: When using the XslStylesheet option, be sure to save the file in the correct file format, such as HTML. |
XML is a good format for delivering data to other applications. The resulting XML file opens in an internet browser.

- DataElementName Indicates the name to use for the data element or attribute.

- DetailDataElementOutput Indicates whether the details appear in the XML output.
- DataInstanceElementOutput Indicates whether a list appears in the XML output. (This property is ignored if there is a grouping in the list.)
