I'm creating a tablet app where a user fills out a form with name, address, etc. These values are stored in local variables.
What I want to do is download that information locally onto the device running the app as an excel file. I'm having problems as the download and excel widgets don't show up on the logic screen for "Client Action".
Do I have any options to download files without using a server database?

Thanks Tousif!!
I would like to learn how to set up the server action exports, but for this app I'm trying to keep it client side and the JSON to Excel component looks like it'll work.
