Exporting and formats

Every GSA report can leave the screen in a format that suits the job — on screen, PDF, CSV or Excel. You hand auditors and stakeholders the figures in the form they expect, drawn from the same underlying records.

This guide covers:

  • Choosing the output: on screen, PDF, CSV, Excel or a data format
  • Exporting an on-demand run for filing or handover
  • Reading the parameters sheet an Excel export carries
  • Knowing what an export contains — tabular data, in English (Australian)

The format follows your purpose, and each export carries a record of exactly how it was produced.

💡 Power User Insight: An Excel export includes a parameters sheet recording the filters, version and timezone used — so the figures stay defensible long after the run. Reports are tables only; they hold no charts or embedded images.
