Choosing the menu option "Save Journal to File" will open the 'Document Journal Entries' dialog, allowing you to specify the filename into which the Journal report will be saved, and also to specify the number or range of entries to be included in the report.
In the Filename field, type a full pathname for the output file, or use the '...' button to browse for a folder and file.

Document Template
The document is created using the template "Element Journal". A default version of this template can be found in the Resources tab of the Browser window. It is located under "Report Templates > System Templates > Templates". You can also create a custom version of the template, by right-clicking on the system template and choosing the menu option "Override". This creates a copy of the system template, within the "Custom Templates" area and opens the new template in the template editor. Here, you can modify the template to suit your requirements. Where a customised version of the template "Element Journal" exists, it will be used instead of the system template.
