Comma-Separated Values (CSV) is a widespread, cross-
platform file format for exchanging structured data
sets. For example, Microsoft Office Outlook imports
contacts stored in CSV format (called "DAT data
files"). Microsoft Office Excel offers bi-directional
(read and write) support for CSV files.
Items in SharePoint lists and libraries are
essentially structured data sets. List Data CSV Export
is a SharePoint 2007 Feature that you can use to
export any list structure into any CSV format.
Rule-based List Exports
The feature installs the CSV List Export Rules list
definition and creates a single central list instance
of this list definition within the top-level web site
of your site collection. In this list, you define
export rules: each list item (export rule) specifies a
title, all list definitions and list templates to
which the export rule applies, and an ordered listing
of all columns to be included within the CSV export
file, with optional alternative column names for the
CSV export file.
