Abstract
An electronic report is instantly generated of selected data displayed in a computer user interface list view. The list view, for example, displays data objects that each comprise a plurality of fields and attributes, or values, corresponding to the fields. A user selection is received of at least one object field of the displayed object fields. An output file is generated that an external reporting application can use to generate a tabulated report that includes the attributes corresponding to the selected at least one object field. The external reporting application is then launched and the tabulated report is generated that includes the attributes corresponding to the selected at least one object field.
