Export
Produce a report as a polished Word, Excel, or PDF document — with cover pages, contents, and watermarks — or as ReqIF for interchange.
A report isn’t finished until it’s in the form the recipient needs. TraceUnified exports reports to the standard document formats, so a generated report becomes a polished, shareable artifact ready for a submission, a review, or an exchange.
Word, Excel, and PDF
Reports export to Word, Excel, and PDF. Word and PDF suit narrative and document-style reports — trace matrices, compliance documents, regulatory output — while Excel suits data you’ll sort, filter, or analyze further. You pick the format that fits how the report will be used, from the same generated report.
Professional document structure
Exported documents are built to look the part. A report can carry a cover page, a table of contents, running headers and footers, and a watermark where one is needed — for example marking a draft as uncontrolled. These aren’t cosmetic: a submission document is expected to be properly structured and clearly labelled, and the export produces that automatically rather than leaving it to manual formatting.
Interchange formats
Beyond documents for people to read, reports can export to interchange formats such as ReqIF, so data can move to a partner’s or a customer’s tool. This is how a report becomes machine-readable exchange rather than only a printed artifact.
Snapshots and version history
An exported report can be captured as a snapshot with its own version history, so you have a record of exactly what was produced and when. For a controlled document this matters: you can show which version of a report was issued, and trace it back to the data and parameters it was run from. Controlling who can produce these is covered next in Permissions.
