Hello Somjeat,

Exporting  an excel report for metadata information can be done by 

  • either using Laserfiche Client
    1. Click tasks
    2. Generate Reports

This option will only download an EXCEL file containing all the fields of your choice followed by their values.

  • or by going into the Laserfiche administration console and :
    1. Right-click Templates
    2. Click All tasks
    3. Export as XML

This option will download an XML file containing information about the fields presented in your templates, in addition to their data type information.

Note that you can convert an XML file into Excel using a converter.

Check the following link http://convertcsv.com/xml-to-csv.htm  for reference.

Hope I helped.

Hello, my friend, 

I didn't quite get your remark in the attached photo.

But if you need to export an EXCEL file to show metadata types and not their values, then try Exporting an XML file from the administration console (steps mentioned in my earlier comment) and then convert the generated XML file to EXCEL.

Your obtained EXCEL file will have for example : 

field1  text 

field2  date

field3  List 

....        ......

 

If this isn't your desired result please elaborate more on what you need 

Regards.
