Export information

For the Report Viewer functions, there are common options available for exporting information. You can export all of the information displayed on your screen about the organization or entity specified in your search, or export only details of a particular published contact for that organization. Depending on your business needs, the following options are available:

  1. DOWNLOAD CSV — this button is available in the search results window. Select this option to download all of the displayed information about the entity as a comma-separated values file (CSV, used to store tabular data). Contact details such as telephone number, email address and fax number are displayed in columns. The file can be opened in a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel.
  2. EXPORT CARD — this button is available when you click on a particular contact record in the search results window. This option allows you to export only the published contact information in virtual contact file (VCF) format. This is the standard file format for electronic business cards. The VCF file can be attached to an email message, a multimedia messaging service (MMS) or instant messages.
  3. COPY TO CLIPBOARD — this button is also available when you click on a particular contact record in the search results window. This option allows you to copy the details of a published contact to the clipboard. You can then paste the information into another application, such as Microsoft Word or another text editor.
