Exporting List Data Quick Guide

It may be useful to move information from the List view grid into another software application such as Excel or Word. SYSTOC allows you to export list data into any software product that accepts the drag and drop method of transfer.

Note: Modifications made to the appearance of a List view are not transferred when you drag and drop data into another application. Desired changes should be made in the target application.

Use the steps described below:

  1. Open the program into which you will be moving your data.
  2. In SYSTOC, go to the List view and display the data you want to export. Then left click on the first item you want to select. Keeping the mouse button depressed, drag the cursor to highlight all of the data you want to export.
  3. When you have finished selecting data, release the mouse button and move the cursor to the top or bottom edge of the highlighted items. You will see a small rectangular shape attached to the bottom of the cursor arrow, and a plus sign to the right. While these shapes are visible, depress the left mouse button.
  4. When you move your cursor again, you will see the plus sign appear in a white box, attached to the rectangular shape, the data is ready to be moved into another application. Keeping the mouse button depressed, move the cursor to the bottom of the screen until the Windows task bar is visible. The data package will change into a circle with a line through it.
  5. Rest this symbol over the button for your target application until that application opens. Move your cursor to the area where you want to deposit the data, release the mouse button, and your data will appear.
