To automatically download physical files associated with objects in a report, complete the following steps when creating and running reports. For more information about creating and running reports, see Create a new report and Run an existing report.

  1. In the Edit Report Definition dialog box, select the Download Files check box.

  2. In the Download Path box, type the path to a shared location where the downloaded files will be saved.

  3. To compress the files in a zip file after they are downloaded, select the Download as Zip File check box to download the files as a zip file.

  4. In the Report details window, find the row that represents the files to be downloaded, and change the value in the Download Physical Files column to True.

    SHARED Tip To change the column's value from False to True, select the word False in the appropriate cell of the table. Clicking in the cell switches the value between True and False.

    • Type the path in the Download Path box to save the downloaded files, otherwise files are downloaded to the Downloads folder on the location machine.

    • You cannot download or compress files if the Report output style is set to New Window or Custom Report, or when the template file selected for the output style is a .xls file.

    • When you change the value of the Download Physical File option to True in a row that represents related items, you will see the following changes in the Report Details list:

      • The row where you clicked will retain the False value, but a new row is created at the bottom of the Reports details list.

      • This new row has the same value in the Related Item column and represents the path where the files are downloaded to.

      • The Caption option in the new row is updated to have the word “Path” appended to the caption of the original row, but it is editable if you want to change it.

      • The Download Physical File option is set to True.
