Hi Guys,

Is there a way to export the data from a UDT for use in say a spreadsheet?

I tried the export content module option, however the problem with that is it gives the encoded email address e.g. document.write(123,5,436,456) etc etc whereas I need the real email address.

Cheers,

Dale

you may either copy paste the output from the screen or use the "Show as XML" feature and import XML into Excel (though I never tried this).

Unfortunately neither of those options work for me, the show in XML shows the javascript which hides the email address - otherwise it would be perfect - is that intentional? It would appear to me to make more sense to show the *real* email address in the XML document? And the copy and paste doesn't work because I don't display the email in text - for size reasons, so all the email addresses show as 'Email'.

Any other options?

Yes, the purpose of the XML is not export but rendering support. If you look again at the XML, you will discover that there are more elements than columns defined - the "Hidden Columns". One of these Columns with the name "ColumnName"_UDT_Original contains the plain E-Mail address. On other way to get the plain data is to change the data type from E-mail to Text. It will not alter your data inside, only the way it gets returned to you.

Thanks for that - I see what you mean now - is there any way I can create a *different* view on the *same* data i.e. I could create a list of un-encoded email addresses which is only available to the admin login?
