At the bottom of every log there are two options: Print Simple Log or View Full Log.
● Print Simple Log prints the contents of the currently displayed log as they appear on screen, using the current sort order for the log.
● View Full Log allows for more advanced sorting and filtering of the log data.
In addition, Submittal, RFI, and Quality Control logs include the option to Export Full Log. The Export Full Log option allows you to export log contents to Excel without first having to view them. This saves time when you know you want to manipulate the log data in Excel before printing.
For details on the Quality Control full log, please see Working with the Quality Control Full Log.

Excel imposes a maximum row height of 546 pixels for viewing and printing. If you have a field with a lot of data, such as History or Comments, this can affect the visibility of your exported data. Note that these restrictions are a factor of Excel and do not affect the data stored in ConstructEx.
When you export a log from ConstructEx any Assigned To, Subject, History or Comments cells where the data exceeds the display limit are highlighted so that you can easily see which cells may need to be adjusted:
