How to access
The Export extension is accessed from the extensions menu item in business object data tables.
How the Export extension works
Data is exported exactly as it's stored at the sever, there are no locale conversions made.
Formats available are .json and .csv (comma separated values).
JSON
JSON is most appropriate for preserving the original structure of the data being exported and a good "round trip" format as it's most compatible with importing back into AyaNova. JSON format is becoming more widely accepted and you should choose this format where possible. There are also numerous conversion utilities and online sites if you need your data in another format from JSON.
CSV
.csv is more widely compatible with 3rd party applications than JSON but CSV is a "flat" file format that will lose some of the structure of the source data so some adaptations need to be made to the data during export and it will not be directly importable back into AyaNova again.
Time zone is in UTC
Dates and times are exported in UTC / GMT time zone directly as they are stored at the server.
Timeouts during export
Exporting data shares the same data gathering code as report rendering and the same AYANOVA_REPORT_RENDERING_TIMEOUT timeout setting applies to exporting data.
