Using Export Express

Export Express is available under a separate license as an optional feature for SimplyReports. If your library has purchased Export Express, you can save the report output for item, bib, and authority list reports in a variety of exportable file formats. The following export options are available:

For Items and Bibs list reports:

• MARC file with or without holdings, and select the character encoding (MARC-8, UTF-8, or LDR/09 for each record).
• MARC file - custom. Select a custom profile to use for the export. See Custom Profiles for Export Express. The default profile used for exporting holdings data gathers the holdings data in the 852 tag. See Default Holdings Data in 852 Tags.
• Other formats - Dublin core (XML), MARC XML, LibraryThing (MARC 21)

Note: Separate security settings control Export Express, so you can allow SimplyReports users to save the export parameters without actually creating the files for export. For more information, see Setting Up SimplyReports Security.

For Authority list reports:

• MARC file, and select the character encoding (MARC-8, UTF-8, or LDR/09 for each record).
• Other formats - MARC XML

If you have the required permissions, you can create, edit and delete profiles for Export Express custom MARC exports. Export profiles are used in custom MARC exports to specify the tag and subfields for holdings data, or to exclude specific MARC tags. When you create a custom export profile, it is available in the list of profiles when you select the Export Express format MARC file custom on the Item list reports or Bib list reports subtab. See Custom Profiles for Export Express.
