You can also export (submit) a template that you’ve designed to the Bento Template
Exchange website, so others can use it. You can submit only the template and not any
records associated with it. For more information, see
”Submitting Templates to the
Bento Template Exchange” on page 114.
Exporting from a Library, Collection, or Smart Collection
When you export records from a library or collection, you can choose to export all the
values from all of the fields in table view or only those fields that are currently
displayed in table view.
Exported files (for example, in a file list field) cannot exceed 200 megabytes (MB) of
data each.
To export from a library, collection, or Smart Collection:
1 Select the library, collection, or Smart Collection that contains the
information you want to export.
2 Choose File > Export.
3 Click Numbers, Excel, Text, or Template.
To export a file compatible with versions of Excel earlier than Excel 2008, export a
Text file.
• For Numbers, Excel, or Text, choose “All records” or “Only current records.”
• For Template, choose any related libraries that you want to export. To
export records with the template, including those of any related libraries
you have chosen, select “Include records in template.” (Bento by default
includes records.) Aliased files referenced in any file list fields are also
exported when this option is selected.
You can include
related libraries and
their data when you
export a library.
