| == Choose the format you wish to export to ==
| |
| | |
| The Database activity module provides an Export tab that allows users to export database entries to either the CSV (comma separated values) or ODS (OpenOffice Calc) formats. Previously, it was possible to export to the XLS (Microsoft Excel) format; however, problems with creating that format have led to it being removed. The workaround is to use either CSV or ODS formats both of which can be opened with the latest version of Microsoft Excel.
| |
| | |
| When using the CSV format, the user can select either the comma, semicolon, or tab to separate the fields. The selection of the proper character is important. If users select to use a comma to separate the fields and some of the fields contain data with commas then the number of columns is going to be misaligned and likely cause confusion.
| |
| | |
| == Choose the fields you wish to export ==
| |
| | |
| Users can select which fields from the database they wish to have exported. By default, all fields are checked to be included. Choose the fields that you wish to have included in the export.
| |
| | |
| == Export entries ==
| |
| | |
| Once the export type and the fields to be exported have been selected, clicking on the Export entries pushbutton will generate the file. The user will usually have the option of either opening or saving the file.
