5. Exporting PDF reports

Last updated on Jun 30, 2026

Sometimes you need a document you can read offline, print, or hand to a clinician or family member. Each Analyze tab can produce a PDF of what's on screen.

PDF export appears when your plan includes exporting. Set your date range and filters first — the PDF reflects the current view.

PDFs you can export from Analyze

Report What it contains Where
Dashboard PDF The dashboard charts (overall trend, frequency, duration, and the Multi/Line graph) for the selected range Dashboard tab
Audit Log PDF The filtered audit log entries, with their notes Audit Log tab
MAR PDF The medication administrations in the range, with time, status, and who administered MAR Reporting tab

Exporting a Dashboard PDF

  1. Open the Dashboard tab.
  2. Set the date range and category filters you want.
  3. Click Export PDF.

The PDF captures the charts as they appear on screen, so set your filters before exporting.

Exporting an Audit Log PDF

  1. Open the Audit Log tab.
  2. Apply your filters — date range, categories, and search keyword.
  3. Click Export PDF.

The PDF includes every entry that matched your filters, with notes inline.

Exporting a MAR PDF

  1. Open the MAR Reporting tab.
  2. Pick a date range.
  3. Click Export PDF.

The PDF lists the medication administrations in the range with their status (given/skipped/refused), time, and the staff member who administered.

Tips for clean PDFs

  • Set filters first. PDFs reflect the current view.
  • Choose a focused date range. A wide audit log can run to many pages.
  • Check the data on screen first. If it looks wrong on screen, it'll look wrong in the PDF.

What's not in PDFs

  • Videos — not playable in a PDF.
  • Interactive charts — flattened to static images.
  • Later changes — the PDF is a snapshot at export time; new entries aren't included until you re-export.

Sharing PDFs securely

PDFs can contain sensitive data:

  • Email with care — use encrypted email if your organization provides it.
  • Print only when needed and store securely.
  • Cloud uploads should be access-restricted.

Common questions

  • Can I customize the PDF design? — Not currently; PDFs use BEHCA's standard layout.
  • Why does the PDF differ slightly from the screen? — The data is the same, but pagination and chart rendering can differ.
  • Can I schedule recurring reports? — Not currently — each export is on-demand.
  • My PDF won't download. — Try another browser, and make sure your filters return some data — an empty result can produce an empty PDF.
