Help > Automatic Export

The automatic export function allows you to export results after every trawl without taking any action. This is a good idea if you wish to keep results for future use. It is also highly reccommended when using timers, so that results are saved for each timed trawl.

Above: The Automatic Export drop down menu

This function can be accessed through the drop down menu shown above. The Auto-Export function can be toggled on/off by pressing the Automatically export after every trawl check-box. The settings for the export can be changed by clicking the Automatic export settings wizard menu item. This wizard is shown and explained below...

The first page of the automatic export wizard allows you to select the format in which your data will be exported. Select HTML if you wish to view your exported results in a web browser, or CSV if you wish to view the results as a spreadsheet.

When you have made your selection, press Next to continue.

The second page of the wizard allows you to select what to export and where it should be saved. The options are:

• Export list of all pages found. When switched on, this option will save a copy of the complete list of all pages found in the trawl.
• Export list of all pages will potential problems when activated, this option will export the complete list of problems found for all pages in the trawl.

An output filename and directory need to be specified for each file being exported. These can be set using the Change button next to the filename fields.

When you have made your selection, press Next to continue.

The third page of the wizard allows you to set how DeepTrawl should handle the exported files from multiple trawls when these have the same name / directory. The options are as follows...

• Automatically add time and date to all file names when this option is selected, the names of all exported files will be appended with the date and time the export occured. This prevents files from being overwritten.
• Overwrite existing files if you do not wish to keep your old exported files, this option will overwrite old files with new ones. No warning will be given, this will happen automatically. If using this option please make sure you don't overwrite useful files by exporting to a directory/filename which already exists.

Once you click Save settings Results will be automatically exported from now on.
