Item Export Wizard

The item export wizard allows you to export items to an external file. Items of each module within Data Crow can be exported. Before the wizard is started you will be asked to select the module from which you like to export the items.

Formats

The wizard is capable to export items to a text or a XML file. XML is the preferred format as the items will be stored in a hierarchical structure rather then a flat, single line, structure. The XML format is also the preferred format when exchanging items between Data Crow installations. The XML format is also used internally by Data Crow for operations like the module export and import.

The text export exports the items to a text file. Each line represents a single item. The values are separated by a character which you can define in the configuration step of the wizard.

Configuration options

Export File

Select the target file (mandatory).

Images

In the second step of the wizard you can choose to export the images. This is recommended as the images are then stored in a sub folder of the location of the report file.

Text length

You can indicate the maximum text length. The value "0" means that text will not be cut. Data Crow will try and find the nice position possible to cut the text. For example right after a dot or an end of line character.
