Exporting analysis results

Use the Export command to export property and other information about entities. The data is saved in a delimited text file that can be opened in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or similar tool.

To export from the Entities view or Properties view

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To export specific entities that you select, select from the Entities view the entities you want to export. Then, from the File menu, select Export>Selected entities.

    • To export all entities in folders you expand, expand in the Entities view the folders for all of the entities you want exported. Then, from the File menu, select Export>Expanded entities.

      The Save As dialog box appears.
