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.

Easy bulk uploads to SharePoint

Fri, 07 May 2010 18:00:00 GMT

Modifying SharePoint upload settings with UploadZen.

UploadZen enables bulk uploading from multiple directories with no client-side installation required.

UploadZen provides bulk folder and multiple file uploads, excellent ZIP capabilities, batch check-in / check-out, and more. UploadZen adds an Upload Multiple Files menu command to the Upload menu of all Document Libraries which makes it easy for your end users to upload files in bulk. UploadZen is compatible with SharePoint 2010 Server and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007.

Benefits

The out-of-the-box functionality for uploading multiple files to a SharePoint Document Library relies on an ActiveX control (requiring special end user Web browser security settings and/or confirmation dialogs), which is readily available without requiring further installation only on client computers that have at least one Microsoft Office application, Microsoft SharePoint or SharePoint Designer installed. Once you get the out-of-the-box ActiveX bulk-file upload control to work for all your users, you can only upload multiple files from a single directory: you cannot select files from various directories to bulk-upload in one go.

If SharePoint's out-of-the-box approach to bulk document uploads is too troublesome to get to work properly, or just not useful enough, for you or your users, UploadZen could prove to be a viable alternative. The solution package adds an Upload Multiple Files menu command to the Upload menu of all Document Libraries. Once you select the menu item, a ClickOnce Windows application is started right from the browser (no previous client-side installation required) that allows a user to select as many files as required from any drive connected to their own computer and bulk-upload those to the document library.
