Export in Resources module

Export in Resources module

You can export your resources to:

  • Image (PDF)

  • MS Excel Basic Template (XLSX)

PDF image export requires NodeJS installation. If you do not see the PDF image export option, see the BigTemplate installation page for more information.

The export respects:

  • Aggregation settings - the columns contain date ranges. For example, when aggregation is set to Week, the column will have a date range of a week.

  • Original estimate and Remaining estimate effort modes - you can export data when the Original estimate or Remaining estimate effort mode is applied. 

PDF export

The exported PDF file will look similar to the one presented below.

It is NOT recommended to exceed 600 lines while exporting data to a PDF file. It leads to problems with generating the correct PDF and opening the file.

XLSX export

The exported XLSX file has separate tabs for:

  • Task workload that presents the workload distribution for a particular task.
    You can check the Task Key, Summary, and Assignee fields for each issue. You can also track the Task workload summary for daily/weekly/monthly workloads.
