Property Lookup Export

Property Lookup exports output a record for each key-value pair in the lookup table for a property definition. You can output this information to a file.

Note:

This is a special use case export type.

To create a property lookup export:

On the Home page, select Export.
Click .
Select Property Lookup as the export type.
Optional: To create substitution parameters for the export:
1. Click .
2. Click Add and add Key-Value pairs.
  
  Note:
  
  Key-Value pairs cannot use "<%" or "%>" sequentially or an equal sign.
3. Click OK.
On the Source tab, select a version or version variable.

You can select Normal, Baseline, or As-Of versions. The Version list defaults to the Normal versions. To select a Baseline or As-Of version, click Normal under the Version list.

Note:

Even though the results are not filtered by version, for this release you must select a version.
From Available, select a lookup property upon which to base the export.
Optional: Select the Style tab, and select Differences Only to filter out lookup pairs where the Lookup Key and Result Value are the same.
On the Columns tab, select the columns for the export.

Only two columns are available because the Lookup Key and the Result Value are the only relevant columns for this export type.

Tip:

Use the up and down arrows to position the column in the Selected list. The first item in the list is the first column, the second item in the list is the second column, and so on.
On the Target tab, select the output type for the results:
- Client File –– Download results via the browser.
- Server File –– Use an external connection and save results to a network file system or an FTP directory.
Perform an action:
- If you selected to export to a Client File, choose options:
  - Column Headings — Includes column headings in the export
  - Quoted Strings — Puts quotation marks around each column value. Any existing quotation marks within the column value are doubled.
    
    For example,
```
=IF("ABC","XYZ",)
```
    changes to
```
"=IF(""ABC"",""XYZ"",)"
```
  - Fixed Width — Allows you to specify field widths, left or right justification for the column, and number of pad characters. You can enter column information in the Fixed Width Option section.
