I am trying to use a snippet and a custom button to export model data to excel but I have a couple things I am stuck on. I am mainly doing this because I want to export fields that are outside my table but do not want to append the record id. It seems I can’t do both point and click.
1. When using a snippet, how do I add custom labels to the fields? Is this possible?
2. When using this method it seems I lose the functionality of selecting which rows I want to export. Is this true? Can you only export all rows?
Here’s my sample snippet:
var model = skuid.model.getModel(‘Estimates’);
model.exportData({
fileName: ‘All_Estimates’,
usetablecolumns:“false”,
fields: r
model.getField(‘Estimate__r.Name’),
model.getField(‘Estimate__r.Description__c’),
model.getField(‘Estimate__r.Location__r.Name’),
model.getField(‘Status__c’),
model.getField(‘Estimate__r.Status__c’)
],
doNotAppendRowIdColumn: true,
});

Hi Ryan
Try this:
var $ = skuid.$;<br /><br />var model = skuid.model.getModel('Estimates'),<br /> TABLE_UNIQUE_ID = 'yourTableId',<br /> list = skuid.$('#'+TABLE_UNIQUE_ID).data('object').list,<br /> selectedRows = skuid.$.map(list.getSelectedItems(),function(item){ <br /> return item.row; <br /> });<br /><br />var estName = model.getField('Estimate__r.Name'),<br /> estDesc = model.getField('Estimate__r.Description__c');<br />estName.label = 'yourlabel';<br />estDesc.label = 'yourlabel';<br /><br />model.exportData({<br /><br /> fileName: 'All_Estimates',<br /><br /> fields: [<br /> estName,<br /> estDesc<br /> ],<br /><br /> rows: selectedRows,<br /> <br /> doNotAppendRowIdColumn: true,<br /><br />});
Add the rest of your fields to the code.
This will export all rows, which you selected in the table (Like a mass action).
Hope that helps…
Thank you!
Tried this. Didn’t work for me.
I’ve built a custom export routine (tested in V1) using SheetJS that exports data from a Model or a Table to an Excel file instead of a CSV and allows you to get pretty granular with your export. It works for all fields except Templates and Child Relationships (I can’t find where this is in the javascript). I tend to use UI formula fields on the model instead of templates to achieve similar results while keeping this usable.
You’d need to add the SheetJS library ( https://sheetjs.com/ ) as a static resource ( https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-0.19.3/package/dist/xlsx.full.min.js – the file to turn into a static resource ) on the page. Then you can use the following functions:
// skuid.custom.sheetJSFromTable(c)
// takes a table component or a table component's ID
// returns array of arrays to use for XLSX.utils.aoa_to_sheet
// table MUST have "Show Export Button" selected
// can add the CSS class "hideExport" to the table to force hide the export button
// c: table's component or component's ID
// options:
// {
// showHidden: true //defaults to true
// }
skuid.custom.sheetJSFromTable = function(c, options){
if(c === undefined){
return undefined;
}
//If c is a string it is the component id, get the component from the component id
if(typeof c === 'string'){
c = skuid.$C(c);
}
if(c===undefined || c.element===undefined || c.element.fieldsMetadataForExport===undefined || c.element.model===undefined){
return undefined;
}
//Get table settings to determine if columns are set as userHidden
let set = c._personalizationService.getSettings();
if (!set.columnSettingsByUID) {
set.columnSettingsByUID = c.element._columnSettingsByUID;
}
function getKey(object,value) {
return Object.keys(object).find(key => object;key]e'fieldId'] === value);
}
let showHidden = true;
if(options !== undefined && options.showHidden !== undefined){
