Hi,

I would like to export My search results to a text or CSV file to allow me to do takeoffs...
would it be possible to implement this?
Cheers!

Hello grant mcgarry,

Welcome to our forums.
I am afraid that such a feature is not currently available in our products.
We offer exporting measurements to a CSV file but not search results.

What I can offer you is to e.g. highlight your search results, and then use the summarize comments feature - this will generate a summary of the search results effectively. (Yes it will export other comments as well but will get the current search results in a separate file/summary).

Regards,
Stefan

Hello grant mcgarry,

The Export\Import of the search results will be available from the next release that should be out in a couple of weeks or so.

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks for the fast replies

Exporting or copying the search results to the clip board would be fantastic.

I need to copy the data out for input into an sql database so a delimiter would be nice

Best thing is I can already gather all the data I need (page number, Bookmark, text, total results...etc) using the search function and other features already provided, I just couldn't get the data out.
I look forward to using this feature going forward!

Kind Regards,

Grant.

found it the save results in V7 however I can't save/open the results in a usable format i.e excel...
Managed to get what I needed using summarize comments in this case however the data needed is not always comments so still need to export the search results into a usable format.

Cheers Grant

Hello Grant,

It seems like the current implementation only allows you to export the search results in a custom file format that we created for it, and then to load those same search results back int he search pane of the Editor, but not to export it in a format that can e.g. then be used in Excel.

I will take a note to ask on the next meeting if there are plans to support exporting to other file formats in the future, and will post back here when I get the feedback!

Cheers,
Stefan

How did we go with this?

[Tracker Supp-Stefan]

Hello all,

We do have a Feature Request ticket for this now in our system:
#4290: FR Editor: Ability to export search results to an editable file format (e.g. CSV)
But for the time being I do not have an estimate of when this will be ready. However - as soon as there are any updates in the ticket - I will post them here as well!

Cheers,
Stefan

Hello Guys,

What do you expect from the resulting CSV file? Meaning what columns do you expect from this file and also, how the multi-document CSV file should look like? For example, we can write each new file as a separate Row or create a new Column with the file name. Also, there are things like text in bookmarks, attachments etc that need to be flagged somehow (probably another column). Anyways - if you have any ideas on this matter, then tell us and we'll take them into an account.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for this.
What do you expect from the resulting CSV file? - Currently I just need the results in an accessible text format as currently displayed in the application window already.
If I could select the displayed results with a cursor the copy & paste into excel this would be fine.

what columns do you expect from this file and also, how the multi-document CSV file should look like? For example, we can write each new file as a separate Row or create a new Column with the file name. - Yes -please this would be very useful..

Also, there are things like text in bookmarks, attachments etc that need to be flagged somehow (probably another column). - this additional / Flag info available in a Column would be great.

Look forward to seeing this in the near future.

Kind Regards,

Grant.
