How can I export documents in a view into structured text files?
Structured text is ASCII text. Exporting from an IBM® Lotus Notes® view to structured text creates
a file containing the text of the documents, minus any rich-text attributes,
as well as all data in document fields.
How can I export view data into tabular text files?
Tabular text is ASCII text arranged in rows and columns,
separated by tabs. When you export a view to a tabular text file,
each row in the IBM Lotus Notes view becomes
a text row (line). Each column in the view becomes a text column,
separated by space characters. The contents of the Lotus
Notes fields shown in the view become the entries in each column.
How can I export view data in CSV files?
You can export IBM Lotus
Notes view data to a CSV file. The Comma Separated Value (CSV)
file format is a simple ASCII text file with one record per line,
whose fields are separated by commas. The documents in the view will
appear as individual records in the CSV file.
How can I import structured text files?
Structured text is ASCII text that is structured in fields
that contain values. When importing structured text into a view, you
must select an IBM Lotus Notes form to accept
the data.
How can I import tabular text files?
Tabular text is ASCII text arranged in rows and columns,
separated by tabs. When you import a tabular text file into a view,
each text row becomes an individual document, and each text column
becomes a field. The original table cell contents become field contents.
How can I import Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet files into views?
When you import an IBM Lotus® 1-2-3® spreadsheet
file into a view, each row becomes an individual document and each
column becomes a field. The original cell contents become the field
contents. You can import data into either main documents or response
documents.
