Export Repeating Group to File Plug-in Properties

The Export Repeating Group to File plug-in exports the values in a repeating table or section to a file.

Value Pair

Description

Datatype

Mandatory

merge

Comma-separated names of elements whose values you want to merge.

This option merges values from outside the repeating group to each row of the export list.

For example, you could use this option to export the unique title of the form for each row in the exported list. Then you could easily identify which form owns the given item in the exported list.

Example

[Title]=[//my:myFields/my:Title]

String

Yes

repeatingelement

The name of the repeating element.

Example

//my:repeatingTable

String

Yes

filepath

The full path in the file system to the file that you want to write the data to.

This value can be taken from the form field(e.g. [/my:myFields/my:File_Path]) or it can be static(e.g. c:\exportgroup\export.csv).

Example

[/my:myFields/my:File_Path]

String

Yes

columnmap

Column name in the target that corresponds to the field in the repeating element. If this option is not used, the entire repeating element will be exported to the target export list.

Example

[Quantity]=[//my:myFields/my:quantity],[Price]=[//my:myFields/my: unitPrice],[Total]=[//my:myFields/my:total]

 

String

Yes
