Exporting Report Data

TMetric allows you to export a report to a CSV or PDF file. The exported report may be further used by administrators, project managers, and other related persons to analyze workflow performance and share the time tracking data.

To export a current report:

1. Click the Export button and select a preferred file format.
2. Save the file to a directory on your computer.
