# File Formats

To access the File Formats functionality, navigate to **Lasernet** > **Setup** > **Lists** > **File formats**.

You can use the File Formats functionality for the predefined destinations rule and create a tag in the XML file sent to Lasernet. Lasernet can then use the tag as a trigger to determine what format the customer wants.

Lasernet must receive the file in the same format as the file you want to create.

On the **File formats** page, you can add a new file format by clicking the **New** button at the top of the page, and then typing a file format (PDF, EDI, etc.) in the record line that appears. Once you are done, click the **Save** button.

It is useful to show, for example, documents in XLSX format or any other possible document type in a new browser tab. To this end, select the **Yes** value in the **Preview in new browser tab** column for the format you may want to show in a new browser tab within the existing browser session. You can also use the **Parameters** area to specify previewing a file of the required format in a new browser tab.

By having two monitors and the Debug mode activated, it is possible to show both the XML file and the PDF document at the same time. You can activate the **Debug mode** on the **Security** tab of the **Reports** page (**Lasernet** > **Common** > **Reports**) by setting the **Debug mode** toggle button to **Yes**.

As a result, on the left-hand screen, you have the XML file, while on the right-hand screen, you can view the PDF document.
