6.3. Export Manager

The Export Manager is found under the Export menu.  When you first open the export manager, it will populate its contents based on the visible tasks in the Manager View.  It will allow you to save a vPlanner Layout based on the visible tasks.  To export to other formats, switch to Filter Tasks to see the same tasks as a list and unlock the other export formats.  If you would like to pick a different set of tasks to export switch from Visible Tasks to Entire Plan then apply the filters to the list.
