reportID	Specifies the GUID of the report to export as HTML
group	Specifies the preferences group to display if the Export Options page is to be displayed. Must always be “export”.

showOptionsPage	Specifies whether or not to display the Options page
defaultRunMode	Specifies the export format (The appropriate value can be obtained from exportFormats.xml.)

* optional parameters

The sample URL shown below illustrates how to export the "Electronics Revenue vs. Forecast" report, which is part of the MicroStrategy Tutorial project, as HTML.

By setting theshowOptionsPage parameter to "false", you prevent the Options page— on which you normally specify the export format— from being displayed. The value of thedefaultRunMode parameter (which can be gotten from exportFormats.xml) determines the format to which the report is exported.
