 +Synopic reporting a great way to structure information that was previously largely unstructured.
 +
 +Here's a example: instead of letting a pathologist write a report in which he says that the patient'​s tissue shows signs of abnormally proliferating cell groups, you let him or her fill out a form with a checkbox for "​TumorTissuePresent"​.
 +
 +PMA.core supports this kind of data capture and the ability to generate forms. For more information,​ see the [[forms|specific section on the subject in this wiki]].
 +
 +Of course PMA.core isn't the only tool in the world that can do this. We acknowledge that by providing various options to integrate external meta-data into PMA.core as well. For more information on that subject, we refer to [[https://​realdata.pathomation.com/​how-to-handle-slide-meta-data/​|our blog article]].

 +{{::​export_to_excel_2.png?​200 |}}In PMA.core, much information is presented in the form of a list: users, slides, forms...
 +
 +No matter how extended we make these list interfaces however, there'​s going to be a time where you think "well, if I only could re-format it like _this_, of if I could just send it off to _that_ lady...
 +
 +Most views in PMA.core therefore have an Excel export button in the top-right corner that allow you to export the current data as list. Go ahead and try it, and if you don't find what you're looking for, [[let us know|https://​www.pathomation.com/​contact]] so we can incorporate it in the next version (no promises; we'll still have to evaluate the extend to which your request would be a useful feature to have for our entire user base).
