Exporting data from a Datagrid component

You can use the Datagrid component in an App Builder app to export the grid's data to an Excel or CSV-formatted file. Before you can actually do that, you must set up the Datagrid component to enable this capability.

  1. In your App Builder project, select the Datagrid component from which to export the data.
  2. If not already done, on the component Properties panel, make the settings necessary to export the data:
    1. Select the Content tab.
    2. Expand the Toolbar section.
    3. Select the Enable Export option.
    4. On the Style tab, expand the Style section.
    5. Select the Show Header option.
  3. Go into Preview mode or launch your app.
  4. Click the Export button in the Datagrid component toolbar.
  5. In the Export to file dialog box, provide a Name for the file to be exported.
  6. Select one of the Type options.
  7. Click Export.
App Builder generates the file to be exported and places it in your local Downloads folder. You can now use Excel or another application that handles CSV-formatted files to open the file that contains your data.
