    There are 2 smart services that you can use: 

    Export Data Store Entity to CSV

    Export Data Store Entity to Excel

    You can use process model with scheduler setup at start node to execute entire process every month automatically. Define naming convention that contain reportname, month year for which is generated. That pattern allow you to get proper files on UI which were generated for current month. On UI you can use a!documentDownloadLink to allow user to download file.

    If you want to allow user to export and download then check this pattern: docs.appian.com/.../Export_To_CSV_Smart_Service.html

    As there are 7-8 different report containing different data based on the condition, so do I need to use 7-8 different process model for 7-8 reports.
