Exporting property information to a csv file

The Properties tab of the Features window includes an option to export the property information for the element that is currently selected in the browser to a csv file.

The following properties can be used to fine-tune the content and organization of data in the generated csv file:

• ExportPropertiesToCSVContentLine - controls what information is exported for each property. You can use the following keywords in this property:
  • $<Subject> - the Subject that the property is under
  • $<MetaClass> - the Metaclass that the property is under
  • $<PropertyName> - the name of the property
  • $<PropertyValue> - the value of the property
  • $<PropertyOrigin> - the origin of the property, for example, factory.prp or locally overridden
  • $<OriginFullPathName> - for overridden properties, the full path to the element where the value is overridden
  • $<TabName> - for properties that are organized in a property perspective, this keyword will give the name of the tab that contains the property
  • $<View> - for properties that are organized in a property perspective, this keyword will give the selected view for the tab that contains the property, for example, Overridden
• ExportPropertiesToCSVHeaderLine - can be used to customize the headings used for the columns of property data
• ExportPropertiesToCSVSummaryLine - In addition to the property data and the headings used for the data, the generated csv file includes a summary, which by default shows the name of the element selected in the browser and the selected view for the Properties tab (for example, Overridden). You can use the property ExportPropertiesToCSVSummaryLine to customize this summary. You can use the following keywords in this property:
  • $<ElementName> - the name of the element selected in the browser
  • $<View> - the view selected for the Properties tab
