To export your task list or appointments to a CSV file, do the following:
Select either CSV Tasks or CSV Appointments from the File/Export menu in Diary mode. The CSV Export wizard is displayed showing the Choice page.
This page lets you choose between outputting information for either the currently viewed diary or for a selection of other user's diaries. If you choose Output a Selection of Diaries then pressing Next will display the Diaries page.
Place a tick next to the name of each user whose diary you wish to export and press Next.
If you are exporting appointment data, the next page is the Date Range page. This page lets you specify a date range, such that only appointments which fall inside the specified date range will be exported. Select a date range and press Next to display the Filter page.
The Filter page lets you choose whether to apply the currently selected filter (if any) to the outputted data. If you are exporting tasks, then this page refers to the filter currently applied to the Task List window. If you are exporting appointments, then this page refers to the filter currently applied to the Appointment List view. Check the check box if you wish to use the currently selected filter. Press Next.
The next page lets you choose a name for the CSV file that you are about to create. Enter a fully qualified filename into the Export File field. You may use the Browse… button to select an existing file which you would like to over-write. When you have specified a suitable filename, press Next.
The options page lets you decide the format of the output CSV file. You may choose whether or not to write a header, describing the structure of the data. You may also choose whether or not to encapsulate each value in quotes. You can choose the character which will be used to separate each value. This is usually a comma, but you may require to delimit each field with a TAB character. Finally, you may specify whether or not to end each line with a delimiter, since some CSV reading applications require this.
