Copying Data from a Table to Other Applications

You can copy data from the tables and paste it into an editor, such as a text editor or spreadsheet program.

Before you copy data, you must determine if you want to copy only the data that is visible in the table or if you want to copy all data that is associated with the event.

To make any changes to the original clipboard settings, use this procedure:

To change clipboard settings:

  1. Right-click anywhere in the data table

    The data context menu appears.

  2. Select Clipboard settings.

    The Clipboard Settings submenu appears.

  3. Select none, one, or both of the following options:

    • Copy only data in visible columns to copy only the data that is displayed in the current table columns.

    • Copy as raw data to copy all data elements from the data entry as raw data; for example, an element that is displayed as No in the table, will get the value 0 (zero) when copied and pasted as raw data.


    Note:

    Selecting both options means that you copy the data as raw data and only the data columns that are visible will be copied. Selecting none of the options results in a copy of all data for the selected data elements.


    The shortcut menu closes as soon as you have made your selection. You can now copy data as described in the following procedures.

To copy and paste data from a single table row:

  1. Right-click on the table row to bring up a context menu.

  2. Select Copy.

You can now paste the information into a regular text editor or a spreadsheet.


Note:

The table's column headers are copied even when you copy data for a single data row.


To copy and paste data from all table rows:

  1. Right-click within the table to bring up a context menu.

  2. Select Select All.

    The context menu closes and the entire table becomes highlighted.

  3. Right-click within the table to bring up the context menu again.

  4. Select Copy.

    The shortcut men closes and the data is copied to the clipboard. You can now paste it into a program such as a spreadsheet or text file.
