Organization Name (Required - If you are an Oracle Partner, please provide the organization you are logging the idea on behalf of): University of Massachusetts


Description (Required): When exporting as output the "Formatted" menu does not have an arrow next to it while the "Data" menu does. On top of that both menus have Excel as an output option. A lot of users do not realize that they are exporting an unformatted Excel because they inadvertently hovered over the "Data" option when they really wanted the Formatted Excel.


Use Case and Business Need (Required): We have thousands of self service customers who may download Excel and this visual ambiguity on the Export menu causes in correct versions to be downloaded and support teams end up chasing data issues when it was a simple mistake of formatted vs unformatted output


Enhancement Request / Service Request: Visually separate the Formatted sub-menu from the unformatted (Data) sub-menu. Perhaps Formatted menu and it's sub-menu can have a certain background color and the Data menu and it's sub-menu can have a different color. Also please add an arrow in front of the Formatted menu like there is one in front of the Data menu. This way users know that there are more options under the Formatted menu as well.
