Data export

You can export records directly from the DataView toolbar. The export respects the active search filter — only matching records are exported.

How to export

  1. Open the record list for the desired table.
  2. Optionally apply a search filter to limit the export.
  3. Click the Export button in the toolbar.
  4. Choose the format: CSV, XLSX or JSON.
  5. The file downloads immediately — no temp file is created on the server.

CSVComma-separated values, UTF-8 encoded. Suitable for Excel, Google Sheets, R, Python.
XLSXNative Excel file. Column headers in row 1.
JSONArray of objects, one per record. Field names as keys.

What is exported

The export includes all columns of the main table (not plugin sub-tables). The column order matches the field order defined in Config.

Plugin table data (e.g. finds attached to a context) is not included in the main export. Export the plugin table separately by selecting it as the active table.

Large datasets

Exports are streamed directly to the browser — there is no server-side temp file and no memory ceiling. Exports of hundreds of thousands of records are supported.
