Export Natal Records

Keep a copy of your birth data as a CSV file, for backup or for use elsewhere. Data → Export in the Natal Records Editor writes the editor's named records to a CSV file you choose in a save dialog.

Export Natal Records to a CSV File​

With the Natal Records Editor open and at least one named record in its grid, to write the records to a CSV file:

  1. Click Data → Export on the editor's menu bar.
  2. Choose where to save the file in the Export Natal Records to CSV dialog, as described in Save a File in the Save Dialog.
  3. Dismiss the Export Successful message, as described in Acknowledge a Message.

The Natal Records Editor with its Data menu open and Export highlighted, with a callout on Export.

The named records are written to the chosen CSV file, and the Export Successful message names how many were exported and the path of the file. A record with no name is not exported.

The dialog suggests the file name NatalRecords_ followed by today's date, written yyyy-MM-dd. Canceling the dialog, as described in Cancel the Save Dialog, writes nothing and shows no message.

Export is grayed while the grid holds no rows. When the grid holds rows but none of them has a name, a No Records to Export message appears instead of the dialog; dismiss it the same way.
