Running Sheet Issue

 
The SheetFlow dialogue contains three tabs, Naming, Selection and Export.
We recommend running through each tab in order prior to hitting the Export button.
 

Naming Tab

 
  • Import / Export - allows configuration settings to be saved out to an XML file then imported when required. We recommend keeping a specific file for each project you have and keeping in a central location where all users have access.
  • Search Parameters - search a parameter name to filter the Available Parameters list.
  • Available Parameters - displays list of available parameters, simply select and click the left / right arrows to add / remove from the Selected Parameters list.

  • Field Separator - controls the character used a separator between each parameter.
  • Custom text - add additional custom text to the exported file name.
  • Preview - provides a live preview of the exported file name as listed in the Selected Parameters panel.
