A user can define how output of the generated document is to be saved by setting the Render Type within the Reports setup of the Administration Tool.  This setting only applies to documents generated in batch or as part of an internal function, such as archiving invoices and quotes.

 

For example, when the monthly recurring billing and storage process produces invoices, it can be instructed to save the output as an Adobe Portable Document Form (PDF).  In such a case, it would be tedious to require a user to manually set the output type.

 

These same options are available to Reporting Services Report files that are interactively generated by a user from within either the Mover’s Suite application or through the Report Manager.  Refer to Accessing Reports through a Reporting Server section for more information.

 

Listed below are the available Render Types and the extension used to save the file with.
