What is the difference between the Report Generator and the Excel Exporter?
The report generator and the Excel exporter are using two different ways to export the information from RadiMation®.
- The report generator is fully configurable by the report generator template which specifies the information that should be exported, and how it should be represented in the final report. The formatting, generated information and amount of information is completely configurable.
- The Excel exporter can not be configured, it just dumps all the raw data into a Microsoft Excel worksheet. By design, all the data is exported without any correction factors applied to the values. The order and the location on which the information is exported cannot be modified, and is always the same.
The report generator is also capable of generating customizable reports in Microsoft Excel. The most common usage of the Excel exporter is to have all the information available in Microsoft Excel to perform further calculations.
Why are the TXT and the HTML formats not supported anymore by the report generator?
The report generator is being using more than in the past, for the inclusion of tables and pictures in the final report. The support in the report generator for the TXT and HTML files has been removed in version 5.3 and higher because those file types do not support embedded tables and pictures within the file. For the same reason the file types XML and RTF are not supported anymore.
The decision to stop the support of these file types in the report generator will not have a large impact, because to our knowledge, these file types are not use by any customer.
I have another question, that is not answered yet
