A question came up from a viewer after watching Domino Blog to WordPress using CSV about what differences there were between exporting to CSV using our Export to CSV logic vs. exporting from a custom view to CSV using File -Export. The primary differences and similarities are shown below:
Export feature | Export to CSV - Midas | Export w/ custom view |
Summary items (number,date, etc.) | Fully supported | Fully supported |
Rich text and non-summary fields | Fully supported | Not supported |
Formulas excluding @DbLookup, etc. and excluding special view formulas | Fully supported | Fully supported |
Formulas using @DbLookup, etc, pulling data from this or other databases | Fully supported | Not supported |
Special view formulas | Not supported | Fully supported |
Extraction of attachments, images for external referencing | Partially supported (files attached to document but not in an included rich text field will only be extracted if the separate HTML rendering is included) | Not supported |
Export from db where additional views not allowed | Fully supported | Partially supported (only existing views can be used) |
Export from db with hidden design (so that additional views not allowed) | Fully supported | Partially supported (only existing views can be used) |
Separate HTML rendering of whole document with filename column reference in CSV | Fully supported | Not supported |
Separate Web Archive (.mht) rendering of whole document with filename column reference in CSV | Fully supported | Not supported |
