Export Locations
Export writes the locations held in the Locations Editor out to a CSV file, giving you a portable copy to back up or carry to another machine.
Overview
The save picker proposes a dated file name in the form Locations_YYYY-MM-DD.csv and defaults to the .csv extension, so successive exports do not overwrite one another.
Two rules govern what is written:
- Rows without a name are skipped.
- If every row lacks a name, the export stops and says so.
The Export command is unavailable while the table is empty.
Procedures
Export Locations to a CSV File
With the Locations Editor open:
- Click Data on the editor's menu bar.
- Click Export in the Data menu.
- Set the file name and confirm the save.
A CSV file is written at the chosen path and the number of exported locations is reported.
