Earlier we had posted a couple of blogs on the export features in Salesforce. They are Excel Export in Salesforce<\/a> and PDF Export in Salesforce<\/a>. In these blogs, we have provided information on how to export the data in Excel and PDF format.<\/p>\n

While exporting the data to pdf or Excel format some name is assigned to the exported file by default. As an alternative to this, we can dynamically set the file name that needs to be exported.<\/p>\n

To achieve this, we created a property called FileName in the controller as shown below –\"cont1\"<\/a>Then we set FileName value through visualforce page using Javascript code as highlighted in below screenshot –\"cont2\"<\/a>We then add FileName property to the contentType attribute of apex:page tag as shown below –\"cont3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using the above approach, we can dynamically set the file name to be used when exporting files in any supported format.<\/p>\n
