# Generating Reports

In RUFUS Race Manager (RRM), reports are generated directly from the data views you are working with. The upgraded reporting engine now produces clean, professional, and event-ready documents automatically. No configuration is required—reports are tailored to the grid you are viewing and adapt seamlessly to the layout, filters, and information currently displayed.

## How Reports Work

Every grid in RRM includes an **Export** button. This button lets you instantly generate a report that mirrors exactly what you see on screen: filters, sorting, and grouping are all preserved. Reports are automatically formatted into professional layouts, making them ready to share with athletes, officials, sponsors, or event staff.

## Export Formats

* **PDF**: Perfect for shareable, polished reports. Layouts are styled automatically for clarity and readability.
* **CSV**: Useful for raw data analysis, spreadsheets, or when you want to create your own custom charts.

## Examples of Reports

RRM generates different types of reports depending on the context of the grid:

* **Podiums Reports**: Highlight top 3, 5, or 10 positions for Global, Gender, Age Group, Club, Team, City, or Country. Completed podiums are marked automatically, and exports deliver clean multi-category tables.

* **Participants Reports**: Produce a list of all participants, with applied filters (e.g., age group, gender, team). Ideal for accreditation, logistics, or registration validation.

* **Segments Reports**: Show split times across checkpoints or segments, providing deeper analysis into pacing and performance.

* **Results Reports**: Export data from Race Results Views.

Each report adapts automatically, meaning you don’t need to configure layouts or formatting—the report engine handles everything.

## Key Advantages

* **Always Professional**: Reports use pre-styled templates, ensuring a clean, consistent look across all event documents.
* **Tailored Automatically**: Filters and groupings you apply in the grid are reflected in the exported report.
* **Fast and Reliable**: One click generates event-ready documents.
* **Flexible Use**: Choose PDF for official reporting or CSV for deeper data analysis.

## Summary

With RRM’s upgraded reporting engine, generating professional reports is effortless. Whether you need official podium results, participant lists, checkpoint passings, or detailed segment times, reports are always polished, accurate, and tailored to your view. Simply use the **Export** button, and your data is ready to share.
