- can be exported, printed, and/or downloaded (depending on the format of the report; refer to Print, Download, and Export options, below).

Print, Download, and Export options
The Message Summary Reports are presented in a variety of formats (tables, line charts, pie graphs) in order for the data to be most easily understood. All of these reports can be "saved off" (printed, downloaded, or exported) for future review and to be shared with colleagues.
NOTE: The availability of these options depends on the type of report.
Print and Download
Many reports have a hamburger icon which, when clicked, has the following print and download options.
- Print - opens the browser's Print dialog.
- Download - these options download the report in the selected format; the file is available in your browser's download feature:
Export
Table-based reports have an Export option above the table with which you can generate a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet version (.XLS) of the report.
To export a table-based report:
- Click the Export button above the list.
- Click Download Excel File on the popup.
- Navigate to where you want to store the report file, give it a unique name, and click Save.
- Navigate to the saved file, open it and review it.
Export file notes
Below is helpful information about exported report files.
File names
All Message Summary Reports export files have similar default file names:
InformzReport_<series of numerals>.xls
Higher Logic recommends giving each export file a unique name (e.g., include the export date) when you save the file.
Report entries
If a report has more than 5,000 entries (i.e., table rows), it cannot be directly exported to Microsoft Excel as a spreadsheet. Instead, for security reasons:
- you will be sent an email message with a link to the password-protected report and
- will have to log in to Thrive Marketing Professional in order to access the report file.
In this case, instead of the Download Excel File prompt (at #2, above):
- Click Email the file on the popup.
- In the second popup, note the password because it is required to open the protected ZIP file.
TIP: When you open the report, you can save it to your device, in which case you will not need the password to open it in future.
