automate an export
Is there any way to automate an export operation? I would like to be able to export a particular table view on an automated basis, like, say, every night at midnight, and write the exported file to a particular location on the server. Is there a way to do this?
At this moment, it is not possible to automate the export process.
The export feature currently fully depends on the browser client.
This is poor design
If someone else lands here, there is a banner on the export page that leads here (in case you missed it like I did): https://docs.admincolumns.com/article/58-how-to-setup-local-storage
Hi Micheal,
Thanks for your comment and noticing this. You are right. There are two forms of export in Admin Columns Pro:
1. Export the data to csv (e.g. your users, orders, etc.)
2. The configuration of Admin Columns Pro itself
For 1, there is no automated way. (An interesting idea though!) as you usually want to setup smart filters and sorting prior to export.
For 2, you can call it automated as it writes Admin Columns Pro to the file system and ready to be picked up by Git and/or other CI/ build tools to be processed.
Link (same as above) to documentation for 2: https://docs.admincolumns.com/article/58-how-to-setup-local-storage
Cheers!
