Topic: How to set fields in report output

Hi,

Our report on the 'Explore Records' page currently show the basic fields:

ID    Species    Taxon Group    Site name     Grid Ref    Date     Recorder    Images    Actions

Recorders can enter more information via the entry form e.g. abundance, life stage, notes etc.
I'm not really concerned about amending how this views online as it seems best to leave it as the most basic (and clear) info to view but I would like the report download to include ALL fields.  (NB Users can only download their own data).

Have been looking in 'Report Settings' for this page which uses the report named: Explore records using index_locations_samples   

Are the fields set as part of this?  Any ideas how I can set the output to include all fields?

Thanks in advance,
Tamara

Re: How to set fields in report output

Hi

To get different output on the page and in the download file you would need to configure two lots of settings. I am guessing that option does not exist in your Explore Records page. Therefore you would need two pages, one that presents basic data on the screen and one that allows download of data.

There are prebuilt forms specifically for downloading data in the Utilities category of forms.
