Exporting Data

You can export logged data from the Trip, Activity, Accident, and Trouble Log views using the menu that displays when you right-click on a log report. There are several options and formats available for exporting data. The available options are:

Information displayed in any of the Log Views can be exported by either saving to a file or copying to the clipboard. Copying to a clipboard allows you to paste the information directly into other applications.

Trip, Activity, Accident, and Trouble summary, report, and table views can be exported as either a text file or a data file.

Plot views can be exported as a metafile (vector graphic format), bit-mapped graphics file, or as data.

Data files are tab delimited text files that can be imported into a spreadsheet.
