Export data source as a new tab

AjayM
edited December 20 in Modeling Ideas

Unless the model builder names the saved views appropriately, it's often difficult to trace the source object of an export action. It currently indicates only the list name or the module name, but if we can have a tab for 'Exports' similar to 'Imports', to indicate if the source of export action is a module default view or a saved view or a list, it would be helpful.

Thanks!

  • I think the bigger challenge is that an export isn't necessarily based a saved view. The saved export is based on the module configuration at the point when the export is created (rows, columns, filters, etc.). So even if you have a saved view open, modifying and resaving the view won't in turn update the saved export. This can create confusion and makes managing exports a bit tricky.
