Data Import/Export

Facilities are available for exporting data from list views, and in some cases for importing data. Some options are common across all views, others are specific to certain types of record. The types of options are:

Export View - common options for exporting the list view contents to a data file.
Export Data File - for extracting the full contents of certain types of record to a data file.
Import Data File - for the creation of certain types of records by means of importing a data file.

When a list view has the facilities available, they are grouped in the toolbar Actions menu, within the Export and Import options. They may also appear as icons on the toolbar.
