[Vtigercrm-developers] WYSIWYG Export of filters to spreadsheets

[Alan Bell]

Hi all,

we have a new module in the store:

https://marketplace.vtiger.com/app/listings?id=146

This tool adds an action menu item to any module in list view which 
gives you a spreadsheet formatted like the filter you are looking at. If 
you set up a custom filter with the specific fields you want and select 
some or all of the records you get a spreadsheet with just the fields 
you asked for, no "Accounts::::" stuff prepended to company names and 
other relation fields, no fields you don't want and no CSV import 
process, it just opens. Text fields like phone numbers get exported 
explicitly as text, so leading zeros show up, but numeric fields get 
exported as numbers so they can be summed in the spreadsheet. Date 
fields in your filter get exported as proper spreadsheet date fields. In 
short, you set up your filter as you want it and you get a spreadsheet 
of your filter.

Like our other modules this is Free Software under the VPL, the code is 
on github here https://github.com/AlanBell/LSWYSIWYG and we support the 
releases installed from the marketplace.


Alan.
