# Exporting reports

You can export PDF, HTML, and text reports manually for previously generated reports or automatically when generating the report.

Automatically exported files can be automatically sent out as email or saved in the <installation directory>/data/reports/files/report_design/ directory on the Management Server.

The report files are named according to the report’s time range as follows: startdate_starttime_enddate_endtime_N, where N is a sequential number (starting from 1) that identifies files from the same time range.

## Example report file name

20150423_100000_20150424_180000_1.txt is the first text report generated for the time range from 23 April 2015 10:00:00 to 24 April 2015 18:00:00.
