You can save the current data visualized in a widget as a CSV file.
The aggregation and the value rounding are taken from the column configuration set in the data assignment (Assign data 2/2 dialog). The sorting is taken from the data feed result based on the feed definition.
Procedure
The menu is available if the Widget menu option is enabled for the widget.
The data are saved in the default data format or in the format set in data assignment (Assign data 2/2 dialog).
Depending on which Web browser you are using, you can select an application that you want to open to view the data, or you can save the data directly as a CSV file.
The widget data is saved as a CSV file.
Note that CSV files can pose a security risk when they are opened in MS Excel. Certain characters in the CSV file can be used for unwanted code execution.
By default, all values beginning with =, +, -, or @ are automatically masked by a preceding single quotation mark before exported as CSV file. For details, refer to https://www.contextis.com//resources/blog/comma-separated-vulnerabilities. You can disable the automatic masking in the server configuration.
Note that when exporting data from a widget, the export may fail if the stream size is too large. In this case, you can increase the maxPostSize value of the HTTP Connector of your Tomcat installation. If not already specified, you can set this attribute to 2097152 (2 megabytes). You can set this value in the server.xml file.
