CSV export file and changing the name of it

[e4omir]

Hello,

I have a behaviour with action - "App: export this view to a CSV file (not a row-level action)". The question is, can I change the name of that CSV file? I was not able to find a solution for that. It will be used on demand (with button).
Thanks in advance.

I believe changing the name of the CSV file created through that action " App: export this view to a CSV file (not a row-level action)" is not currently possible.

As a workaround, you could evaluate creating a CSV file report through automation. You can base the view on a slice on the table and report in turn could base on that slice with <<START: >> expression.

Points to note are: Unlike CSV export action which is view based and available in primary position, this automation could be triggered by a row level data change action. You may need an additional column for this to trigger the automation bot. Also the file will either store in the cloud or get sent in email and not download to the desktop like a CSV export action.

Hi There, I believe if you use a Bot with an action, then you can use the settings on the side to assign a prefix to your CSV file and this can be dynamic as well 🙂 

Hope this helps?

Thank you both. This is exactly what I found about this, that only with Automation will be possible. The problem is, that the button is needed only for demand use.

Yes, you are correct.
