• In this study, we are going to Export all records into Excel format
• After clicking the ‘Export all records’ icon, a ‘Data export options’ window will appear
• Here you can choose the Export type
• You can also decide if you want your options to be displayed as Numbers  or Names
• For example, if you had a ‘Gender’ option group with a value 1 for ‘female’ and value 2 for ‘male’, if you choose to display options as numbers, 1 and 2 will appear in the data export
• It is also possible to choose if you would like to export the entire study, certain parts of the study, or certain variables
• To export the entire study, in the ‘How to export’ field choose the option ‘Interactive (tree)’ and then click on the Entire study in the tree
• To export the data, click ‘Export’ button
• The export includes multiple datasets
• Open the folder where the file was downloaded, unzip the exported folder and open the Excel document
• When choosing to export the entire study, the Excel export document will consist of several tabs
• ‘Study results’ contains all the study data collected via the Records
• ‘Study variable list’, often called as data dictionary, contains an overview of all the variables used in your study, including option groups, dependencies and calculations
• A separate data dictionary will be created for a study, reports and surveys
• You will be able to see all the option groups used in the study
• Comments, queries and verifications will be exported separately and you can find them in the respective tabs
• I am going to export the study into CSV format to demonstrate how this type of export looks like
• When exporting into CSV format, your export will be saved as a zip-file, containing a set of separate CSV files, one for study data and one for each report and survey, a list of variables and option groups
• Castor EDC also allows you to create a printable version of your study forms.
• You can print Records, Reports or Surveys by clicking on the 'Print'  icon which you can access via the cogwheel or step navigator.

• Alternatively you can also save the record as PDF
• For this you need to choose Adobe PDF as your printer and follow the instructions after pressing OK
• In my case I can simply click Save to save a pdf version of the record
• You can also print separate phases or steps by opening each record and relevant phase or step, then clicking the three dots in the step navigator
• Choose the option Print this step to print the desired step
