Selections are sets of data from a Contributor application grouped together to create specific reports. These selections can be made up of data from one or more tabs within your Contributor application.
Once selections are created and saved, they are called saved selections and are stored in a specific location determined by your Contributor Administrator.
For more information about configuring Export for Excel, see the Contributor Administration Guide.
Choose which selection option you want to use:
New Selection - creates a new selection of data. You can choose to include commentary.
(Optional) to reuse this selection later, type a name for the new selection in the field. This name should represent what the data selection is (such as 2001 Revenue, Eastern Region Expenses, etc.).
Edit Selection - changes the structure of an existing selection.
Use Selection - uses a previously saved selection without changing the structure. If the structure of a previously saved selection has changed significantly (because of a model change), that selection may not be compatible and would need to be recreated.
Include Commentary - to include any commentary with your selection. You cannot select Include Commentary for a previously saved selection if the commentary was not included as part of the original selection creation. Choose Edit Selection if you want to include commentary with this selection.
