Allow Instance List to be sent to MS Excel

Visual LANSA Framework

Allow Instance List to be sent to MS-Excel

This option allows end-users to send the contents of the instance list to a Comma Separated Variable (CSV) file. If the end-user has MS-Excel, then this will automatically display the data as a spreadsheet. The user can then save the spreadsheet where ever they want.

If this option is enabled, a new menu option becomes available when the end-user right mouse clicks on the instance list, called Send to MS-Excel. If the end-user takes this option, the current visible contents of the instance list are made into a CSV file.

The column and record ordering is the same as the user sees it on the instance list.

Visible child records are included but not indented.

If a side-by-side secondary instance list is visible and is showing data this data will also be included in the CSV file.

Default is checked for new business objects, and unchecked for pre-existing business objects.

Applies to Windows.

This property is in the Business Object Instance List/Relations tab.
