For eThe tracked time in projects represents very valuable information purposes,for the management. we need the ability to export records as Excel file. Although a [[ https://secure.phabricator.com/T3985 | report feature ]] is basically quite nice, but quickly becomes very complex due to the different requirements.Dependent on the applied methodologies in planing and controlling there are many ways to use these data.
Instead of providing some predetermined report formats (see T3985) it would cover much more scenarios when these information could be exported in a generic format (XML, CSV etc.) so the user can decide how to use or process them further.
Included with extended possibilities to select a specific subset before the export (see T5150), With an export in Excel format various third-party applications can be used for such evaluationsPhabricator would just provide a nice way to collect data where they arise and offer an open access through common formats for further processing.
