Clicking on any form showing Stream Data (either a grid or chart) will open the form described here and allow options to be selected before downloading the associated data as an Excel file, a CSV (comma separated) file or as an HTML file (shown in the browser). This same option form can be shown by using the Download option on the context menu after right-clicking on a Chart.
Form: Download Data Options
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Items to Download | If there are selected items on the grid, this field allows you to specify whether just the selected items should be downloaded or whether all items implied by the filter should be downloaded. Please be aware that if you choose to download all items, on some grids this might mean that PhixFlow would begin downloading a very large number of items e.g. millions of records. This may take quite some time so please be sure that you want to do this before proceeding. If you choose to download just selected items, PhixFlow will set a limit of 500 records. |
| Maximum Records Per File | When you want to download a large number of records (e.g. more than 50,000) PhixFlow can split the results into several files and "zip" these together before downloading. This field specifies the maximum number of records to place in any one file. If left blank, PhixFlow will export as many records in one file up to the default system-wide limit set on the System Configuration form (see field Maximum Page/Chart Size on the System Tuning Tab). |
| Use Excel Template | The field is only visible if the backing Stream View has a template configured. This field indicates whether PhixFlow should use the Excel template associated with the Stream View. (Note that this template is set up on the Stream View form). If selected, PhixFlow will format the output file according to the formats defined in the Excel spreadsheet. |
