Hello, I have made a report with data sources. from my vision window, the report viewer works fine. Now I am trying to export the data from the report using a button on the window. There is no way to select the data sources, for exporting. What is the best way to export data from a vision window, report viewer? Thanks, David ---

Hi @drinaldi, The report viewer component has its own scripting functions for exporting. see the docs [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Vision+-+Report+Viewer) Jonathan C ---
