Creating a script to export report data as HTML

Last Updated : May 09, 2020 |

Procedure

  1. Select a report that you want to export as HTML and display it to the screen.

    CMS Supervisor displays the report window.

  2. From the menu bar of the report window, select Reports > Save As.

    CMS Supervisor displays the Save as HTML window.

  3. Select the appropriate option from the Template group.

    A template can be used to provide company logos, background color, specific fonts, or surrounding text to the HTML file. If you do not select a template, the export process generates basic HTML tags to display the report.

    CMS Supervisor provides you with several templates that can be found in the \samples directory of the main CMS Supervisor directory.

  4. In the Output field, select a name for the HTML file you are creating.

    To save the file in a directory other than the current directory, specify a full file path, such as c:\temp\myrpt.htm. You may also use the browse button located to the right of this field to navigate to a target directory.

  5. Select the Script button.

    CMS Supervisor displays the Save as Script window.

  6. Select a directory and file name for the script, and set the file type to either Interactive or Automatic.
  7. Select Save.

    If there are charts associated with the file, they are converted into .GIF files. After the HTML is saved, you can move or copy it and all associated graphics files to a web server directory for viewing on the Internet or an Intranet.
