You can export information from many of the tables in Management Center applications, including the Alarms and Events Panel. The exported information can be formatted as a table in an HTML file or as a space-delimited text file. You can set the appearance of HTML exports by editing the FlexibleTable.properties file. Refer to How to Set the Appearance of Exported Tables for more information on formatting HTML tables. The procedure used to export table information is the same, regardless of the source.
To export table information:
- Select a table that contains the information that you want to export.
- Right click on any of the column headings or anywhere in the table body,
or click the Table Tools
button in
the upper left corner of the table (if you have the row count column
displayed), and select Table Tools > Export. A file browser window opens where you can name your exported file, select the File Type (Delimited Text or HTML), and navigate to a folder/directory where you want place the file.
- Type a name and file extension for your export file and click OK.
To auto export table information:
- Select the table that contains the information that you want to export. (This feature is not available for FlexViews tables.)
- Right click on any of the column headings or anywhere in the table body,
or click the Table Tools
button in the
upper left corner of the table (if you have the row count column displayed), and select
Auto Export from the popup menu. The Auto Export File Settings window
opens where you can enter a filename, and select a destination folder and
file type (HTML or a Delimited Text spreadsheet-compatible format).
- Select the appropriate File Management option:
- Append - Appends the current data being exported to the data in the existing file.
- Replace - Replaces the data in the existing file with the current data being exported.
- Timestamp - Creates a new file of the same name plus the current date and time.
- If you have selected the delimited text file type, specify your field delimiter and text delineation options.
- Click OK. The file name will be displayed in the toolbar.
- Set the auto export frequency by entering a value and using the drop-down list to specify the unit of time.
- Click Start to start the auto export. The export is performed immediately and then again at the specified frequency. The Start button changes to a Stop button, allowing you to stop the auto export function, if desired. If the Frequency is set to Once, the Start button will not change to Stop.
