Exporting Results

You can use the Export Results dialog box to export your results to a structured file that is suitable for further processing by an application, such as a spreadsheet.

Write header

If checked, the following header information is included in the file: name of the results file, which fields were exported, and how the fields were delimited. Default is checked.

Write paths relative to results file

If checked, the name of the directory and file that stores the results file is included in the file. Silk Test Classic always assigns the extension .res to all results files.
