Export elements and log data in PDF format

You can export lists of elements, logged data, diagrams and dashboards in PDF format.

If you have defined an export banner, the text of the banner is added at the beginning of each exported HTML file to indicate that the export contains sensitive or classified data.

Note: Export banners are not added to log data that is exported or forwarded.

For exports in PDF, you can modify the style template to indicate that the export contains sensitive or classified data.
