Export Wizard

Tutorial

This tutorial demonstrates the export of a small sample of data from the database.

Choosing the data

 In the main form, select the data that should be exported (only the data displayed in the query results are exported).

Exporting the data

Choose Data → Export → Wizard → Export taxa … from the menu.

A window as shown below will open where the available tables for export are listed in the upper left area. To show the data colums of a table, select this table in the list.

Adding columns

In this example, we want to add the higher hierarchy, starting with the order. Select the Order from the list as shown below.

In the Columns area appearing in the area on the right click on the button to add the Order to the columns list.

This is repeated for the Family and the Genus (see below).

In the taxon table choose the column GenusOrSupragenericName to add teh genus to te exported (see below).

To avoid that the column name GenusOrSupragenericName appears in our export, we change the name to Genus (see below).

The same is repeated for the species, authors, common names and synonyms (see below).

Testing

After all columns that should be exported and their transformations are defined, we start Test export to see the result as shown below.

Click on the button to open the result in a separate window (see below).

Export

To export the data change to the tab and click on the Export data button. The result is shown in the textbox below and stored in the specified file (see below). 

Together with the exported data, a schema is stored, containing all settings of the export. This schema may be reused for subsequent exports of the same type (see below).
