A "report" in i2Brain is simply a list of items in text form. This list can be output to a file and either read to check that nothing has been missed, or imported into another program.

"Julia Roberts", "Actor", "", "http://directory.goddessdreams.com/Julia_Roberts/", ""
"Notting Hill", "Film", "Comedy", "", ""
"Hugh Grant", "Actor", "", "", ""
"Pretty Woman", "Film", "Comedy", "http://us.imdb.com/Title?0120815", ""
"Erin Brockovich", "Film", "Drama", "", ""

The item's name, the values for all of its aspects, then the Description are output. Each of these texts is surrounded by quotation marks; they are separated by commas. Hence the name for this common format, "Comma Separated Values" or CSV

Only the items which are visible in the view are included in the report. I.e. if a filter is active in the current view, it effects the report.

Use:

In the menu, choose "View | Report".

You can determine whether the names of the aspects are output, and whether the lines are numbered. Here is the beginning of the same report as above, but with both of these options activated:

1. "Julia Roberts", Ding = "Actor", Genre = "", URL = "http://directory.goddessdreams.com/Julia_Roberts/", "Description = ""
2. "Notting Hill", Ding = "Film", Genre = "Comedy", URL = "", "Description = ""
3. "Hugh Grant", Ding = "Actor", Genre = "", URL = "", "Description = ""

Pressing the "Save" button allows you to store the report in a file of your choosing.
