They are customizable outputs that are generated as XLS files instead of PDFs. You need a program capable of opening spreadsheet files, such as Excel®, to view them. The following export file outputs are available: - Provider List Export File - Child List Export File - Claim List Export File - Review List Export File - Training List Export File - Provider Messages Export File Each of these export files have a corresponding Mailing Label report. The same steps and filters apply. However, the Mailing Label reports are generated in an Avery 5160 format.   To generate an export file: 1. Click the **Reports** menu, select the appropriate category, and select the file to generate. Depending on the report you select, an filter window (such as the Provider Filter) opens. Set filters and click **Continue**. The Select Output Data window opens. The Provider List Export File version is shown below. ![](https://dyzz9obi78pm5.cloudfront.net/app/image/id/5cc0c80a8e121ce74cffb13d/n/export-file-window.png) 2. Check the box next to each field to include in the report. You can also click **Select All** to select all fields. 3. Click **Continue**. The Save As window opens. 4. Browse to the location in which to save the export file. Export files are saved to C:\\Program Files\\MMHX\\Sponsor folder by default, so we strongly recommend you save the file in a different, easy to access location. 5. Click the **File Name** box and rename it, if needed. The default name is the current date and time, followed by the export type. 6. Click **Save**. #### Saving List Export File Report Templates Many Sponsors use the list export files to create the same basic report multiple times a year. To streamline this process, you can save your filter choices and output options as a template, so you do not have to select them again each time you generate the report. 1. Click the **Reports** menu, select the appropriate category, and select the file to generate. Depending on the report you select, an filter window (such as the Provider Filter) opens. Set filters and click **Continue**. 2. Check the box next to each field to include in the report. You can also click **Select All** to select all fields. 3. Click the **Enter New Export Report Name** box and enter a name for this template. 4. Click **Save Export Report Options**. 5. Click **OK** at the confirmation prompt. Once you have saved a template, you are prompted to select a template when you select that particular export file. Click the **Select Export Report Definition to Use** drop-down menu, select the template to use, and click **Continue**. ![](https://dyzz9obi78pm5.cloudfront.net/app/image/id/5cc0ca1bec161c7c414917ca/n/provider-list-export.png) To generate a list of all your saved Export File reports, click **Reports**, select **Misc**, and click **Export Files Reports**.   --- ### Report Output Windows Each time you generate a report in Minute Menu HX, it prints to a Report Output window on-screen.

If you do not, you can download and install CutePDF Writer for free [**here**](https://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp) (external link).

In the Report Viewer, click ![](https://dyzz9obi78pm5.cloudfront.net/app/image/id/5f626557ad121ccf0e43da9d/n/1600283990960.png).The Print Setup dialog box opens. ![](https://dyzz9obi78pm5.cloudfront.net/app/image/id/5f626558ad121cc40e43db9f/n/1600283991238.png) 3. Click the **Name** drop-down menu and select your PDF printer, Adobe PDF, for example. ![](https://dyzz9obi78pm5.cloudfront.net/app/image/id/5f626559ad121c960f43d9a1/n/1600283991082.png) 4.

Click **OK**. 7. Browse to the location on your computer in which to store the report, and click **Save**.
