Procesio allows you to work with several types of files, the most useful of which being Comma separated files, that use the .csv extension.

Scenario

The user wishes to use the process to export data in the form a .csv file.

How to

Step 1. Create a new process and give it a name.



Step 2. Add the needed variables.

For the process used in our example we will require the following variables:

• <%data%> - the input list<Object> variable that will store the JSon.
• <%export%> - the output variable of type File.



Step 3. Click the Export to CSV action and add the following configuration.

• Object to export* - will hold the <%data%> variable.
• Column delimiter - will ask for the type of delimiter used in the newly created file.
• Export header - the checkbox gives us the option to also export the headers.
• File name* - will be the name of the exported file, the extension will be added by Procesio.
• Output file* - will contain the fil variable we created in Step 2.



Step 4. Save, Validate and Run the process. Step 5. You will be prompted to add the data for our input variable. The input will be of type JSon. Click Run.
