This article will explain how to export data from your TreePlotter™ application, a useful skill to gain access to your data in the format you need. The data can be exported from a specific layer in two formats, Shapefile or CSV.
Prerequisites:
- User with Admin-level access
- Tutorial: The Hub
Steps:
1. Login to your TreePlotter application with your user profile.
2. Click on Hub > Data Tools > Exporter.
4. Select the Export Type using the Export Type dropdown menu. A comma separated values (CSV) file will be the default file type in the dropdown, though you may also select to export as a shapefile depending on your application of the data.
5. Select the layer that you are looking to export data from in the Select Layer dropdown. Note, the options for layer selection are not a default list, and will depend on the available layers in your application.
6. Enter a unique file name of your choice next to File Name text box.
7. Click the ‘Export‘ button. Your exported data will now go to the downloads section on your computer. Open the file to retrieve your data. If exporting as a shapefile, the file will be zipped (compressed) and will need to be unzipped to be opened.
Known Limitations:
- In order to access the Exporter tool, the user must have an Admin-level login.
- Layers cannot be all exported at once. To export all data from all layers, layers have to be exported separately following this process each time.
