Once you've generated a report, infoodle offers several ways to view and print the results depending on your needs — view on screen and print from your browser, export as Excel, export as CSV, or (for Events) export as a PDF check-in form.
See Special Reports to understand what each of them are for.
How to Access Print Options
- Create or load a report using one of the report tools:
- Report Areas — People, People - Notes, or Assets reports
- Special Reports — Pre-built reports like Attendance or Volunteer Hours
- Financial Reports — Finance area reports
- Complete your report criteria, filters, and field selections
- Click the Generate Results tab (or equivalent in your report type)
- Your results will appear in a table
Viewing and Printing On Screen
To view your report results on screen and print them from your browser:
- After generating results, the report table will display on screen
- Click the Print button in the top-right corner of the report area
- Your browser's print dialog will open
- Select your printer and print settings (page layout, margins, colour, etc.)
- Click Print
Tips for printing on screen:
- The report will print exactly as displayed, including all visible columns and rows
- If your report has many columns, it may require landscape orientation to print clearly
- Use your browser's print preview to check how the report will look before printing
- Adjust column widths in the report before printing if needed
Exporting as Excel
Excel is useful for detailed analysis, further processing, or long-term storage.
- After generating results, click Export to Excel (or Generate as Excel)
- A .xlsx file will download to your device
- Open the file in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet application
- From there, you can:
- Print the spreadsheet using File > Print
- Further analyse or manipulate the data
- Save for records or sharing
Exporting as CSV
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain text format useful for importing data into other systems or for universal compatibility.
- After generating results, click Export to CSV (or Generate as CSV)
- A .csv file will download to your device
- Open the file in a spreadsheet application, text editor, or import it into another system
- If opening in a spreadsheet, you can then print using File > Print
Exporting as PDF (Events Only)
Some Special Reports — specifically the Check-in Form — can be exported as a PDF for printing and use at events.
- After generating an applicable report (e.g., Attendance), click Generate as PDF
- A PDF file will download to your device
- Open the PDF and print using your PDF viewer's print function
- The PDF is formatted for event check-in use (typically one page per event or group)
Note: PDF export is only available for certain Special Reports. Not all reports support PDF generation.
Choose the right format — On-screen printing is quick for immediate use; Excel is better for analysis; CSV for importing into other systems
Landscape orientation — Reports with many columns print better in landscape mode. Check print preview first
Large reports — Very large reports may be easier to manage as Excel exports rather than printing directly
Margins and scaling — Adjust your browser or spreadsheet print settings to avoid cutting off columns or rows
File naming — When exporting, give the file a descriptive name with the date (e.g., "Active Members 2024-01-15.xlsx")
