Summary

The File options fields allow you to save the report as a file to a local or network drive:

• To be imported by third party software, such as banking software.
• To upload to the Tax Department website.
• For your company records.

Fields

Save to file:

If you want to send the report to a destination on your hard drive or network, then click the Save to file checkbox to activate these tab fields.

Note: You can set up the Report Destination options to email the report and save it to file at the same time.

Format:

Select a report format (see Report Format Options). The default format is "ArchiveFile", which is the PayGlobal Internet format. The recipient can view "ArchiveFile" reports in the PayGlobal Report Viewer.

Note: Designer reports have "CSV2File" option. If Format = "CSV2File", then the resultant file will not contain additional quotation marks around strings that include spaces. However, strings or numeric values that include commas are enclosed in quotes for Format = "CSVFile" and "CSV2File".

Filename:

Enter a relevant name for the report. The default name is based on the report code, such as PGPRCOST001.

Enter a simple or full Filename:

• If you enter a simple Filename (such as "EmployeesReport"), then PayGlobal saves the report file in:

  - The company Temp folder under your login name (such as SUPER).

  or

  - The folder specified in the User Profiles | Login Details | Temporary directory override field for your login name.

• If you enter a full Filename (such as "C:\Program Files\PayGlobal\Export\EmployeesReport"), then PayGlobal saves the report file in that folder.

Field containing filename override:

This field is displayed only when you access this form from the Report Splitting tab in Reports - Edit Report Settings. You can select only fields that are in the entity selected on the Report Splitting tab.

Use compression:

If you click this checkbox, then PayGlobal will generate the report as a zip file.

Password:

Enabled when the Use compression checkbox is ticked. Specify a password that the recipient must use to export the zipped report file.

Create PayGlobal Print Queue File:

If you click this checkbox, then PayGlobal will create a file that is used by the PayGlobal Print Queue application.
