Can I export a saved view or will it export everything?
Hi,
This topic is a bit unclear for me. I did the following test:
The result is that the export still works as opposed to breaking. My understanding then is that the export is not intrisincally linked to the saved view. That means if something structural in my view definition changes I do need to recreate the export process from scratch. Does that make sense?
@paolovm
That is correct
The export definition is saved at the point of the export.
Should you amend the saved view, you will need to "re-save" the export
However, if the saved view was using filters, changes to the filtered rows/columns will will be reflected in the export action without the need to re-create
Hope that helps

Hi David
My export button does not export based on the filter of the dashboard. Fro ex, if i select the filter to be "Q1-2019" data, it will not export just this data. Can you help?
Thanks!

Step 1. Instead of selecting quarter with the page selector you would use a module such as the below
Step 2. Create a line item in the module you're exporting which reflects the selections in the module above.
Step 3. Use that line item as a filter in both the export actions and the view which shows on the dashboard
I have a similar situation.
I am trying to create an export action based on a saved view.
I have created separate modules in which end users can select which version and sites to export.
I have created boolean line items in my export module which I use in the filter of my saved view.
As part of my saved view, I am hiding accounts which I don't want to be part of the export.
However, when I export the data, I have all versions, all sites, all line items, all periods (including Quarter and Year total), although in my saved view, everything looks good.
What am I doing wrong?
(see screenshots for the filters I apply in my saved view)
Thank you!

Hi Louise,
Just confirming something:
- when you saved the view and created the action was it already applying the filter or did you add the filter to the saved view after?
The reason for the question above is because when you create an export from a specific view it only has attachment to that view in the moment of creation.
Example:
- you create view ABC
- you create an export ZYX from view ABC
- you add a filter to view ABC
In the case above the export ZYX wont contain the filter. What you need to do
- Create an export ZYX_V2 that contains the new version of view ABC
- Repipe anything linked to the previous export into the new one
Hope that makes sense.
Hi @paolovm ,
I confirm that I recreated the action after having added the filters.
In the meantime I have tried again to run my export action and it is giving the result I want when I export as " tabular multiple column" and as "Grid".
However, when I select to export as "Tabular Single Column" it is not exporting the correct line items, versions, business areas that I filtered on. Maybe this is due to the setting: include/exclude current line item or all line items conflicting with the filter criteria?
Anyway, my problem is solved 🙂
thank you
Hi, I am working on a solution where the User should only have access to write/edit the list members that they add from an Action on the frontend. This action adds another list member to a selective access list. The problem is, in order to run the action, you need access to the entire list, so you would see all list…
Hi ALL, In my model, I have Need stored at a 'D3' RS Group level. I need to use this Need in another module at the G5 Location level. I currently have a mapping module where each G5 Location maps to a D3 RS Group. This Module uses D2 Role as dimension. but the line item I've to find the RS Group (Find D3 RS Group = 'FIND…
I couldn't find any formula to do this, but I want a way to put on the page/grid the connection details. This is so I know what connection I'm in rather than going into Connections details to see it. Is there an XL3 formula to return this value?
