File Export Graphs<br />
and Tables<br />
You can create and save your own graph and table templates, or<br />
use a template from <strong>Flowlink</strong>. <strong>Flowlink</strong> includes ready-made<br />
stock templates you can import into your database. The default<br />
location for these templates is in your local<br />
Programs\<strong>Flowlink</strong> <strong>5.1</strong> directory. In this directory, locate the<br />
Templates folder, where you will find subfolders for Graphs and<br />
Tables. These folders are further divided into Daily, Weekly, or<br />
Monthly templates for Single or Multiple Data Types, and for<br />
either raw data or averages for single-data type table templates.<br />
When a graph, table, or scatter plot is active on the <strong>Flowlink</strong><br />
desktop, selecting File>Export will export the series data shown<br />
on the graph, table, or plot. Several export formats are available:<br />
• CSV (“Comma Separated Values”, also known as commadelimited),<br />
without summary.<br />
<strong>Flowlink</strong> exports CSV files with a Data Definition<br />
Header.<br />
• CSV, with summary. For tables, the summary<br />
information appears in the last line of the file.<br />
• PDF (Portable Document Format), for sharing and<br />
viewing data using Adobe Acrobat family of products,<br />
including the free Adobe Reader.<br />
• HTML (HyperText Markup Language), for sharing and<br />
viewing data using an Internet browser.<br />
• IGD (<strong>Isco</strong> Graph Document), for sharing of graph and<br />
table templates.<br />
How to export data:<br />
1. From the <strong>Flowlink</strong> menu, select File>Export.<br />
2. Type the path and file name, or browse for the new<br />
location by clicking the Select… button.<br />
3. Select the export format from the Save As Type box and<br />
click OK.<br />
4. Click Export.<br />
<strong>Flowlink</strong> displays its progress on the bar in the status box.<br />
Notes:<br />
• If transferring a graph exported as HTML to a new<br />
location, be sure to transfer two files: the HTML file and<br />
the referenced image file. Because of this requirement,<br />
PDF is often more suitable, especially when sending the<br />
exported file as an E-mail attachment.<br />
• Exports can be automated using schedules (see page<br />
143).<br />
• If a CSV file with summary is imported into <strong>Flowlink</strong>,<br />
the summary data is not imported.<br />
