Can I Control Export Filename?

  1. I want to try using the export.csv file to display results on a page with csvview.php . My problem is that the exported files have differant names. I don't know where the numeric name extension comes from, but if it always had the same name, and replaced the older file by the same name; then I think I can do what I want. So, is there a way to control the name of the exported file?

    By the way, each form saves it's export in a differant folder - right?

  2. Currently there is no way to change the filename. We will be changing the export process so that the filename is time stamp based and they will all be created in the same folder instead of different folder. I wouldn't build anything that relies on the current export functionality as it will be changing.

  3. Oh oh - Thanks for the feedback, but your response has me puzzled. How will I determine which export is from which form?

    (I have so far just assumed that there is a folder for each form)

  4. The exports are designed to be downloaded immediately when you run the export.

    We will be changing this so that the filename incorporates the form name and timestamp, but currently it is designed specifically to be downloaded right away when you run the export.
