Summary
The simple export can be used to export the contents of a single chart or table to an Excel or CSV file. This type of report is equivalent to selecting Export on a chart while running Vital Signs interactively.
- A single selection is allowed
- File level banding is supported
- Excel is not required to be installed on the server.
- Default export is to an Excel xls file.
- Export to xls files is limited to 65K rows
- If the file extension is csv a comma delimited (csv) file will be created.
- There is no row limit when exporting to csv files
Setting Up a Simple Excel Export in DocumentDistribution
Add an entry to the DocumentDistribution file with the following fields:
| DocumentName | Name of the Vital Signs Application (qvw file) |
| ExportType | Export |
| Definition | QlikView Object ID |
| OutputFileName | Name of the Excel or CSV file to be created (*) |
| FileExistsAction | Purge |
| Selection | Optional: Name of the selection |
| Banding | Optional: Name of the Banding Field |
| PrinterName | This field is ignored for simple exports. |
| EmailList | List of email recipients, separated by a semi-colon. |
| FileCreatePath | Default path to create the file, if no path specified in the filename. |
| EmailLinkPath | The path to include in an email instead of attaching the actual file. |
- (*) If a valid extension is not specified, a ".xls" extension will be added to the filename.
Where is the file created?
There are several ways to specify a path for the export file. The following possibilities are checked until a path can be determined:
- If the OutputFileName includes a path, the file is created in that location.
- Use the FileCreatePath, is one is specified, on the same row as the report definition.
- Use the FileCreatePath, if one is specified, on the PDFConfig page.
- If no path is specified, use the same directory as the Vital Signs application file (usually vitalsigns/CUNAME)
