The Export Data command is available in windows or panes that show tabular data. It allows you to select what table columns and records you wish to export and then save the data to a file outside of the system. The data may be saved as a comma-separated text (.csv) file; an HTML file; a Microsoft Excel (.xls or .xlsx) file; a DBF file; a Google Earth KML file; or a Shape file. (If the Shape type is selected, the application generates a zip archive with .shp, .shx, .dbf and .prj files. This type is only available for data windows with location information and for systems that have an attached "route" map.)
When you select the command, the system responds by displaying a dialog box so you may select the columns you wish to export. You may also select what records to export — either all records, just those currently displayed, or a certain block of records. When the Write Header check box is selected, the system exports a header record as the first record exported. The Use Lookups check box allows you to choose whether the lookup label is exported (selected) or the ID is exported (not selected).
After making your selections, click the OK button and the system will transfer control to your computer, which asks you whether you wish to display the exported data in a default application or save the file. Make your desired selection to complete the export process.
