Data Export Template

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

You can create and edit export templates. Go to File | Export | to XL summary file. In the export dialog, click the Make template button.

 

Export Templates

On the left of the dialog is a list of all the data entities that you might wish to export to the spreadsheet. On the right is the definition of the template. The basic action is to double-click an entity on the left and add it to the list on the right.

If you are starting from scratch, consider using the Tools | Default option to load up all the possible data into the table. Note that loading everything gives more than 256 column, so you'll need Excel 2007 or later.

 

XL file

Enter the file directory or use the [>] to browse.

XL sheet

This is the name of the sheet in the XL spreadsheet. Sheet1 is the XL default.

Row

The first row of data in the spreadsheet.

Table

 

Index

Check any column which forms an index key - a combination of columns which uniquely define the prospect. Usually prospect name, block and country will do it.

Column

The XL column in which to place these data specifies in the next column.

Data

The REP data to export.

Qualifier

A qualifier of the data to be exported - e.g. which P value for results. If you choose data by double clicking in the tree on the left, this entry will be populated automatically.
