This will at least get you all of the desired files onto your PC which can then be merged into a single .xls or other format file.</p> <p>A couple of important notes that relate to my <a href="http://imgur.com/4vU71vz" rel="nofollow">example script image</a></p> <ol> <li>Uses Firefox Selenium IDE</li> <li>Assumes you have username stored in browser and logs in/out at start / end of each run. Quite possible to automate from the starting point of being logged into dashboard too</li> <li>Selenium &gt; Options &gt; Locator Builders - Move ID and CSS above UI. Makes your recordings a LOT easier to read and tweak by hand.</li> <li>The biggest challenge with Selenium is that it doesn't deal with file download prompts (at all). There's lots of support questions about this but gist is that it is an OS integration thing. In Firefox I selected the auto save dialog prompt. Lose control over location files are saved to your last download location, but gain the ability to execute multiple test cases without user interaction.</li> <li>If you're careful about column selection - you should be able to do a merge of .csv files in the path via "copy *.csv newfile.csv" and have one file to work with - except with a repeated number of header rows. At this point though you've got local file options to handle batch / parse / trim activities.</li> </ol> <p>From reading many other threads, the idea of scheduled jobs seems to be far off on the feature horizon, might an interim step of being able to do an export of multiple forms at same time be possible? Few ideas towards that:</p> <ul> <li>Only show common field names for export</li> <li>One header row in result</li> <li>Optional new field that identifies which form generated the result</li> </ul> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/export-all-entries-at-once#post-231186 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:29:49 +0000 David Peralty 231186@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Jamie.

Can you give me an example use case? </p> <p>I ask because every form can be different so the CSV data for each would involve different delimited content and headers. so it's a bit strange to export all of them in a single CSV file. </p>
