The Sample Export Column Selector add-on allows users to export a customized .CSV file of their sample data containing specified columns of metadata.



To generate a custom export file, navigate to the Advanced Search page under the Inventory tab and perform a sample search. Note: customized export files can only be generated for one sample type at a time. On the Advanced Search page, users can expand the Search by Sample Type section and select a single sample type in the left-hand list to ensure that the returned search results are filtered by the selection.



Once the Advanced Search Results page, click the Export Selected Columns button to open the column selection window.



Select the columns to include in the file and click the Export button to generate and download the .CSV file containing the specified sample data.



Note: the add-on can be configured to auto-select default sample fields each time the column selection opens. All custom sample type fields will be automatically selected.
