Export Natal Records

Export writes the natal records held in the Natal Records Editor out to a CSV file, giving you a portable copy to back up or move to another machine.

Overview

The save picker proposes a dated file name in the form NatalRecords_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 Natal Records to a CSV File

With the Natal Records Editor open:

  1. Click Data on the editor's menu bar.
  2. Click Export in the Data menu.
  3. Set the file name and confirm the save.

A CSV file is written at the chosen path and the number of exported records is reported.
