It is possible to export the entire contents of your Workbooks database as .CSV files.  The export will generate a TGZ archive file, which is a compressed file.  (To expand the file you can use any one of a number of commonly available tools, such as 7-zip or Winzip.)

To export your database click Start > Configuration > Database > Export Database > Export Database.  This will generate a message advising you to check you have enough disk space for the download as well as providing an estimate of the download time.  If you want to continue click Yes, otherwise click No.

Please note the following:

• Only users with the Database Export Capabilty will be able to carry out a database export.
• You can only export data that you normally have access to.  If you want to export ALL the data, make sure that you are logged in as a user with full access.

In addition, wherever you see the export button you can export data to either CSV or in a format compatible with Microsoft^® Excel™.  This functionality will export data from all the columns you have activated so remember to configure the screen to reflect the data you want to export before clicking the button.  The ability to export in this way is limited to users with the appropriate capabilities for each record type.

NOTE:  You can carry out this export once every two hours, if required.  Trying to repeat the export within a two hour period will generate an error message.
