Saving Eclipse Reports to Your Computer

If you have generated an Excel or PDF file with Eclipse and need to save it to your hard drive:

Saving from the Report Preview window

1. From the toolbar select the Save icon

Open

2. When the browse finder window appears, select Client Home (M:).  This is your hard drive location, then you can select any file location on your computer from there.  Give the report a File Name and select PDF Document

Open

3. You should then tick Save Options Permanently. This will set the file save location and file type as PDF for all future reports you save.  Click the Save button and the report will then be saved to your computer in the location you selected. 

Important: The Client Home (M:) Drive represents your C Drive on your local computer. You will need to create a folder on the root directory of your local C Drive before Eclipse can access and see it, such as BACS, Desktop, Reports, etc.

Saving an Excel Document

1. When saving an Excel document, select This PC to view your local drives, then save to the appropriate folder.

• MAC OS computers will automatically save the Excel file directly to your local computer instead of opening automatically in Excel. See instructions for setting the path here: Save Excel Reports directly to Disk.

• Windows computers can also save directly to your local computer if you turn this on by following the instructions here: Save Excel Reports directly to Disk

Troubleshooting

1. Make sure you select This PC to show your accessible drives.
   
   

2. If your M:\ Drive does not show after clicking This PC, you may need to reset your session. Follow the instructions outlined here: Eclipse Frozen / Copy & Paste not working / M Drive is not accessible - Reset your own Eclipse Session
