Exporting view data on demand

For tabular views, all data rows are exported by default, but you can also export only selected rows of data.

To export all rows

1. From any view, perform one of the following actions:

   • On the view toolbar, click the Export data to file button.

   • Right-click a column header button (in tabular views) or a field (in detail views) and select Export data to file.

   All of the current view's data is exported, including data in fields that are excluded or hidden.

2. From the Choose a directory to export to dialog, select a local directory in which you want to save the exported file and click the Open button.

3. With the directory open, click the Save button.A file name is generated for the exported data in the local directory. The name consists of the view name and a numeric extension, starting with 1 (such as JOVER.1). The view name is used as the basis for the exported file name regardless of what you specified in the Choose a directory to export to dialog.

   Warning

   Note

   Each time you request the export function for this view, an additional file is generated, and the file extension is incremented by one (JOVER.2, and so on). This sequence enables you to import the exported data later and cycle through the series of snapshots.

To export selected rows

1. From a tabular view, select the data rows that you want to export.
2. Either click the Export data to file button on the view toolbar, or drag the selected rows to that button.
3. From the Choose a directory to export to dialog, select a local directory in which you want to save the exported file and click the Open button.
4. With the directory open, click the Save button.
