A major feature of SmartSimple [[list views]] is that list view results can be easily exported to Microsoft Excel. Once your list view has been [[Configuring List Views|created]], take the following steps to enable exporting to Excel:
# Go to the [[Accessing the List View Configuration Page|list view configuration page]].
# Click into the list view for which you wish to enable exporting.
{{ExportEnabled}}
* The Export button will now be enabled for your list view.<br/><BRbr />
* You can also tell the system where you want the results of the list view export to be positioned in the resultant Excel spreadsheet. Visit [[Positioning Exported List View Results in your Excel Spreadsheet|this page]] for instructions.
* Additionally, you can upload an Excel spreadsheet to be used as a template for list view result exports. Visit [[Using an Excel Template for List View Export Results|this page]] for instructions.
'''Note:'''
* Buttons displayed on the list view, such as [[Quick Edit]] buttons and {{WPV}}s, will not be exported. A blank column in the Excel file will result for columns containing only buttons.
* In the [[Basic Search|Basic Search panel]], when searching on a custom field, an additional column is added to the list view showing the values for that custom field. This additional column will not be exported to the Excel spreadsheet, an additional list view export can be configured for that.
===CSV Data Security===
When exporting data into a CSV format, files can become vulnerable to [https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/CSV_Injection malicious CSV injection attacks]. As a precautionary measure, an additional space will be added at the beginning of any values starting with at signs ( @ ), plus signs ( + ), minus signs ( - ), piping symbols ( | ), or equals signs ( = ). Therefore, when you export a file from Platform3 into a CSV format and later need to import that file into another system, please ensure you trim the additional space in front of any values.
