Saving Dataviews

Any dataviews that you have open in your workspace are saved as part of the workspace. When you close and reopen the workspace, your dataviews will be restored with the same formatting, fields, and formulas.

You can use the File>Export>Table command to save the data in a dataview into a new data file of a different file type (e.g., Excel worksheet, comma-delimited file, HTML table), with the rows and columns just as you see them in the dataview. This can be a handy way to manage your data, by producing a new table with just the rows and columns that you want, in the desired order. The values in any formula fields can also be included when you save a dataview to a different file type. For more information see Creating a Table from a Dataview.

You can use the File>Export>Image command to save a dataview as a graphic file (e.g., BMP, JPEG, PNG) that can, for example, be added to a document or a web page. For more information, see Saving Maptitude Windows as Graphic Files.

Blue triangle icon To Save a Dataview as a Different File Type

Choose File>Export>Table to display the Save As dialog box.
Choose a file type from the Files of Type drop-down list.

If the file type is Comma-delimited Text you can click Options to display the CSV Options dialog box. Check the Save Field Name Header box if you want to save the field names as a header record (this is the default; the data will start in the second record), and check the Rename ID to RecordID box if you want to use “RecordID” rather than “ID” as the name for that field (for compatibility with Microsoft Excel). When you are done, click OK.

Type a new name for the file.
Click Save.

Maptitude saves the dataview into a file of the chosen type.
