Report export options

Within the report general settings, if no options are selected, then the export option for reports will not be available. There are a number of export formats available from report builder:

• CSV export: Comma-separated values (.csv)
• CSV export (optimised for Excel): Comma-separated values (.csv)
• Excel export: Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (.xls)
• ODS export: Open Office spreadsheet (.ods)
• PDF landscape export: Portable Document Format (.pdf)
• PDF portrait export: Portable Document Format (.pdf)
• PDF landscape export (wkhtml2pdf): This only works if it has been enabled, otherwise it has the prefix Disabled and cannot be used
• PDF portrait export (wkhtml2pdf): This only works if it has been enabled, otherwise it has the prefix Disabled and cannot be used

It is also helpful to note that where a right-to-left (RTL) language is used this will be supported. When RTL is used as part of an export, not only will the text itself be displayed correctly but so will the column orders. 

The only exception is CSV format, as this does not have capabilities to store text direction property. For those requiring RTL, after importing this CSV in their office suite, they need to enable RTL mode manually.
