Exporting the RULA Analysis in XML

  2. The File Selection dialog box appears.

  3. Select Html Files(*.html) or Text Files (*.txt) .

    Note: A html log file contains some special fields that are impossible to display in text. For instance, the RULA analysis row contains an additional cell, which serves to display the color associated to the numerical result of the RULA analysis. Likewise, the rows for the constraint results contain a cell that is colored in the same fashion.

    Note: Since a text file presents a simple, yet precise format, its contents can be parsed, sorted and further processed, in order to be incorporated into another report.

    For example, if this file is imported as is in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, then each data field is automatically placed in a separate column, and the data can then be filtered with little effort.

    Note: You can also change the default settings for the directory to be saved in. See Customizing, under the Tools > Options > General tab.
