Hi,

I was wondering if a csv export tool can be displayed within the submissions section that allows a user to export a specific submission? It proves useful, especially if you're dealing with thousands of records, and one needs to export a specific entry from the list.

You can do this by using the submission range option. Just use the start and end submission ID (in beta3). In RC1, we switched from submission IDs to serial numbers. The approach is the same, but with either approach you'll need to get the corresponding number.

Thank you for the reply, but what I'm looking for is a one-is-to-one csv, meaning, one record, one csv file. Currently, the webform system allows several entries into one csv. I need the entries individually separated into csv files.

Sorry, I must be missing something. By setting the starting and ending range to be the same value, you get exactly that: one CSV for one submission.

Are you describing that you need to download a batch of CSV files, like a Zip file including all of the submissions in separate files? Or is it just the tediousness of exporting one submission at a time that is a problem?

Perhaps the drush integration could help you here, which allows you to export submissions from the command line. It also supports exporting by range, so you could do the same thing to export 1 submission at a time.

Hi,

I was actually looking for a link within the operations section that would allow me to export a record into CSV (perhaps after delete?)

Currently, we intend to use the webforms to process hundreds of records. The requirement is to store one record in one CSV file. Although, the range option provides the one-to-one correspondence, the target users are not technically inclined, and might find the download facility provided too tedious for them. To add, none of us are Drupal programmers.

I'll also try to check the drush integration to see if it meets our needs. Thanks!

I don't think it's likely that we'd add an option beyond our current starting and ending range (for something like "export single record"), as I can't see that being a very common use-case and it's already possible just by filling out the current fields.

Since we haven't had any other updates, let's go ahead and close this.
