As described in the Toolbar topic, the Print to File button allows you to store data displayed on the screen in a file. When you click this button, a window opens where you can specify how to store the data.

The Output File field displays the name of the output file with the entire path. The name is automatically generated by the software and cannot be changed.

In the Export Format section, you specify how the text is formatted in the file. Select Excel if you want to export the data into a semicolon separated Excel file. The other options will create plain ASCII (txt) files, with a tabulator, a space, or any other specified character as a separator. To align the columns, select the Column Align check box.

Click the Select button in the Blocks to Write section to open the Select Blocks window.

Select the Select check boxes of all screen blocks to be exported to the file and click OK. You can use the Select All button to mark all records in one step. Deselect All cancels the selection and Cancel closes the screen without selecting any block.

You can specify the records to be stored in the file in the Records to Write section. Select either All Records queried to export all queried records or All Records displayed to export only the records currently displayed on the screen.

You can also specify the fields to be stored in the file in the Fields to Write section. With All Items selected, the job will export all fields of the screen, whereas Displayed Items will export the currently displayed fields only. With the Re-Importable indicator selected, the data will be exported in a format that allows re-import into Smart Materials.

Finally, click OK to start the export, or click Cancel to close the screen without exporting any data.

SHARED Tip On several screens, for example, S.20.02 Tablenames with Details or P.70.74 Packages, it is also possible to import data using the Print to File button.

Select the Import tab and click the Browse button to upload the file to be imported.

A browser window opens where you click the Browse button again.

Select a file and click Open. Next, click Submit Query to complete the upload operation.

The Upload Feedback message is shown.

Close the browser window to go back to the Print to File window.

In the Import Mode section, select the action to be allowed for the import. You can select Insert, Update, and/or Delete with an optional Cascading option.

Further, you can select the type of error handling. Ignore Error will continue the import if an error occurs, Stop on Error will stop the import in case of an error, but all data imported so far will be stored in the database. Rollback on Error will cancel the entire import in case of an error.

Finally, click OK to start the import, or click Cancel to close the screen without importing any data.
