With [A12-15320] now adding a button to an overview for an excel export should be available.
Is there a documentation anywhere how to do this?
Hi @clara-fleet-yew
We have an example in the full-stack project template. I am not allowed to attach the Bitbucket URL here, so please reach out in case you need it.
Essentially, you would need to add a button labeled export_excel to the Overview models.
On the server, you would need this config
mgmtp.a12.dataservices.jsonRpc.allowedOperations=[you-current-list],EXPORT_LIST_CDDS
This button is available out-of-the-box when modeling an Overview Model based on a CDM.

This button is not provided in Overview Models based on Document Models. This is due to the way that Data Services prepares the data.
AFAIK, the export will contain all the non-repeatable fields from the current set of Documents that you see in the Overview.
We tried to use the export for an overview based on a CDM. The base data model has repeatable fields and therefore it did not work at all. So it does not help in our situation.
Hi @clara-fleet-yew
Thanks for the feedback. We already have an open ticket (A12-17506) looking into the current limitations of the export functionality. Could you get in touch with the assignee and add your use-cases ticket?
