Export SharePoint List data to CSV

Fri, 07 May 2010 18:00:00 GMT

The management window provides a quick way to get started with ExportZen.

ExportZen lets you easily create and automate customizable CSV exports of SharePoint List data.

ExportZen is customizable, workflow-ready, can be scheduled and is batch-capable, respecting Views and filters. Comma-Separated Values (CSV) is a widespread, cross-platform file format for exchanging structured data sets. Microsoft Office Outlook imports contacts stored in CSV format (only Outlook calls them "DAT data files"). Microsoft Office Excel offers bi-directional (read and write) support for CSV spreadsheet files. ExportZen allows your users to export SharePoint Lists to CSV from SharePoint (2010 or 2007).

Benefits

All SharePoint Lists and Document Libraries are essentially structured data sets. The ROXORITY ExportZen solution package for SharePoint lets you export data from any list into any CSV format:

Design and customize multiple different CSV data file exports for various SharePoint List types.
Offer users, programs and systems an always-up-to-date, decoupled CSV view on your business data.
Streamline highly custom asset management, data transformation, integration and migration tasks and processes.

FilterZen allows you to instantly apply better search and information drill-down to any content, List, Library or Web Part, using specialized, intelligent filters (background or interactive). With FilterZen you can dynamically filter Lists, Document Libraries, Data Views and other Web Parts on the fly, automatically or interactively, choosing from a wide range of specialized filtering mechanisms.

Benefits

All SharePoint Editions

Absolute Infrastructure Integration
Utilizing Microsoft's own, fully supported and recommended, de-facto standard Web Part Connections protocol used by a great number of out-of-the-box and third-party components, FilterZen is fully compatible with both the browser-based Web Part Page Edit Mode and SharePoint Designer.
It's a Web Part - Use it anywhere
All Web Part Pages, all List Views and Document Library Views and Forms, all Home pages, Search Results pages (in MOSS), all pages and tabs in Document and Meeting Workspaces, all pages in Blog and Wiki web sites

Filter Everything That's Filterable

SharePoint, Third-Party or Custom Lists
Filter any columns in any of your Announcements, Contacts, Discussion Board, Links, Calendar, Tasks, Project Tasks, Issue Tracking, Survey or custom lists - whether on a Web Part page, a List Form page or even directly on a List View page.
SharePoint, Third-Party or Custom Libraries
Filter any columns in any of your Document Libraries, Form Libraries, Wiki Page Libraries, Slide Libraries or your own custom document libraries - whether on a Web Part page, a Library Form or View page.
XML / XSLT-based Data Views
Filter any columns in any of your SharePoint Designer-based or custom-coded XSLT business Data Views.
Everything else
FilterZen integrates into the Web Part Connections infrastructure, just like the other, out-of-the-box SharePoint Filter Web Parts. Hence, whenever any given Web Part can receive filters via Connections, FilterZen can handle it.
