Exporting XML

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Introduction

 

Most of the 'views' windows (Deals, Orders, etc.) allow the export of their data to an XML file. This file can then be opened in Internet Explorer for a print-friendly view or newer applications that can open the XML file.

 

Method

 

Right-click the mouse anywhere inside a window, select Export, XML:

XML Clicked

 

A dialog box will appear asking whether to open the XML file in the web browser:

 

XML Open browser

 

If 'yes' is selected the XML will be displayed in the web browser:

 

Browser opened

 

Note

 

1.Exporting the XML will write the windows data to a file located on your machine with a file name corresponding to the window name, E.g. Completed Orders will create a file called 'compords.xml'.
2.Exporting the XML will overwrite any previous XML file for that particular window - If you wish to retain the XML data, copy the file to another location on your machine.
