Data export
***********

PortaBase currently supports export to three formats: CSV, HTML, and
XML.  The inverse of data import, this allows you to move database
content into a spreadsheet, text editor, other database program, etc.
for further manipulation.  To export the current database's contents:

1. Select "Export" from the "File" menu in the data viewer.

2. Choose the format you want to export to from the droplist.  If you
   export to CSV or HTML, only the rows passing the current filter
   will be exported.  Additionally, when exporting to HTML only the
   columns included in the current view will be exported.  If you
   export to XML, the entire database structure (including column
   definitions, views, filters, etc.) will be exported; note that the
   result may be over twice the size of the actual data file, so make
   sure you have enough free storage space.

3. Enter the name of the CSV, HTML, or XML file you wish to create.

4. Click "OK"/"Done" to complete the export, or cancel out of the
   dialog to abort the operation.
