With the Table Manager tool, users with permissions can export, import and/or modify any attribute of table elements or table data.

1 Introduction

To access the table manager, it will be necessary to access the view of the particular object (for example, a form or a report). Click on the icon located in the toolbox at the top right of the screen as shown in the image below. This action will open the Table Manager pop-up screen.


1.1 Table Manager Options

In the left part of the pop-up window, four possible actions are shown by icons. Depending on the action selected, a transactional area will be shown with different sections to be completed.

ICON NAME

1.1.1 File Export

This action exports selected data in a *.dat extension file and with the original name of the primary table. The Where condition indicates the previous query conditions. This screen allows you to select how the data is exported, such as the type of delimiters between data or the possible date formats. Furthermore, it can be selected which columns will be exported and in what order. In this example below, four columns have been selected (contry, city, store name and square feet), and ordered according to the country and city.



Use the GNU zip compression option to compress the exported file in this format .*gz.
