Output File Screen

The Output File screen is part of the Export Wizard. When configuring a table or summary export, use this screen to specify the folder you want to export files to.

Dialog box options:

  • Save as: Enter the path to the desired export file or click the Browse button and use the dialog that displays to select the export location. This option is available when exporting all filters and an Automatic Naming setting of "by tables" is selected.

NOTE: Specifying a .PRF or .PDF extension will generate the corresponding file type accordingly. Specifying .TXT or any other extension will generate a file with text-based content only.

  • Save to: Enter the path to the desired export folder or click the Browse button and use the dialog that displays to select the export location.

  • File Naming: Enter the name of the exported file.

Note: You may also use the naming macros to name the exported files and destination folder. To do this, click the Insert Macro icon  naming macros.zoom80 and select the naming macros from the drop-down list.

  • Extension: Select the file extension of the desired export file format.

Note: The Save to, File Naming and Extension options are available when exporting all filters and an Automatic Naming setting of "by files" is selected.

  • When output files exist: If a file of the specified name and type already exists in the export location, select one of the following options:

    • Overwrite file: Overwrites the data of the existing output file with the data in the current export file.

    • Add data to file: Adds the export file data to the end of the specified file.

    • Skip file: Used for Automator project exports, this allows you to create a project export which will skip the export operation if a file of the same name already exists. This is useful for automated operations, where you may not want to overwrite a file that already exists.

  • Format for Text File(s): Allows you to specify the export format for text files. The format you select will be saved in the project file:

    • Fixed-length: Select to specify "fixed-length" as the export format for text files.

    • Delimited: Select to specify "delimited" as the export format for text files.

Note: When creating a new export job or modifying a non-text export job, the default text export format is fixed-length for "txt" extensions and delimited for other extensions. This assures backward compatibility with old projects.

  • Cancel: Cancels any changes to the settings and closes the Export Wizard.

  • Back: Displays the Table View or Summary View screen.

  • Next: Displays the Table Info, Tableau Server or the PDF Security (if .pdf format is selected) screen.

  • Finish: Performs the table or summary export and closes the Export Wizard (if .db, .dbf, .txt, .qvx, .html format is selected).
