Export Data to File

You can export the data from a data table, or a tabular visualization, and save it as a file on disk.

If you want to make sure that the data table is saved as a new file each time that the job is executed, you can add the date to the file name using a predefined field. You can also add a pre-configured export path to make sure that the destination path works in your environment. For more information, see Inserting a field in a Spotfire Automation Services job.


Option	Description
Export data from	Select a tabular visualization or a data table to export data from.
Export data as	Select the file format the data should be saved as. Note: Data exported from a cross table, summary table or graphical table can only be saved as a tab separated Spreadsheet file.
Export data to	Select where to save the exported data (on the node running Automation Services or to the defined export path by inserting a field) and file name of the exported data. Note: If no export path has been defined, the file will be saved to the node executing the job. Therefore, you must make sure that the folder you select as destination folder actually exists on that computer, and that you have writing permissions for the selected folder. Note: Allowed file paths may be limited by the `allowedFilePaths` setting in the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Automation.config file.
