7 Performing HPDM Operations

The HPDM application allows you to perform various database operations:

“Exporting Data” (page 65)

“Communicating System Messages” (page 66)

Exporting Data

Data to Clipboard

[Data to Clipboard] saves the data to the clipboard. Each value is a double-quoted string. The
clipboard can then be pasted to any Windows document (for example, Excel, Notepad, or Word).

Data to File

[Data to File] (if enabled) pops up a window to export the contents to a file. There are two format
types available for [Data to File]:

“CSV Format” (page 65)

“HTML Format” (page 65)

CSV Format

In Comma Separated File Format (CSV) the data is saved in a comma separated format [.csv]. In
the Save As dialog box:

Navigate to a location where a copy of the data will be saved.

Enter a name for the content in the Save As box.

Select Save As Type (with the .CSV extension)

The default location is %HOME% dir or the users default application directory if %HOME%
is not defined.

HTML Format

In HTML format the data is saved using the table , tags. In the Save As dialog box:

Navigate to a location where a copy of the data will be saved.

Enter a name for the content in the Save As box.

Select Save As Type (with the .html extension)

The default location is %HOME% dir or the users default application directory if %HOME%
is not defined.

Data to Spreadsheet

[Data to Spreadsheet] transparently saves the table data to a temporary local file in standard
HTML table format and then executes the file. Executing the temporary local file into an Excel
file launches Excel on a windows system if Excel is installed.

Data to Browser

[Data to Browser] invokes Internet Explorer or a default browser displaying the table data. The
data is exported internally in standard HTML format. Internet Explorer is then invoked on this
HTML file. The file is a temporary file. You can then use Internet Explorer to save the contents.

NOTE:

The Export buttons are disabled if the table has no data.
