Export
Use export when you need to take data or visualizations out of Boldo.
The available format depends on the screen you are on.
What you can export from each screen
| Screen | Export | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory table | Current table content | CSV |
| Saved view | Current table content | CSV |
| Diagram | Image of the current diagram | PNG |
| Chart | Image of the current chart | PNG |
| Nested map | Image of the current nested map | PNG |
Export table data to CSV
In inventory tables and saved views, Boldo can export the current table to CSV.
- Open the relevant inventory or view
- Apply the layout and filters you want
- Open Actions
- Click Export CSV
CSV export is available from the table actions for administrators.
The exported file follows the current table configuration:
- only the assets currently included in the table are exported
- visible properties are exported as columns
- rich text fields also add a plain-text column
- relationship columns are exported using related asset names
This means export is based on what you are looking at, not on the whole knowledge base.
Export visualizations as PNG
Diagrams, charts, and nested maps can all be exported as PNG images.
- Open the visualization
- Click the export image action
- Boldo downloads a
.pngfile
In diagrams, the main export action downloads the whole diagram. If you use cameras, you can also export a PNG from one camera to capture only that part of the diagram.
When to use the API instead
Use the API if you need recurring extraction, integration with another system, or programmatic access to the knowledge base.
Use UI export if you need a one-time file or image from the current screen.
Read API for the developer flow.
