A new feature has been added to the Browse/Print interface: Download as CSV

Shortcut: Press **Ctrl + Shift + D** while in Browse/Print to instantly trigger the download!

Reminder: Press Ctrl + Shift + P to display the Print View.
If the nuPrintButton setting is enabled, you can also access Print View by clicking the Print button or choosing Options → Print.

Customise CSV Export

You can now customise the Browse/Download to CSV functionality by setting export options directly in the form's Custom Code section.

To use this feature, define your export options using the following code:

Code: Select all

var exportOptions = {
    delimiter: ';',
    lineTerminator: '\r\n',
    includeHeaders: true,
    bom: true,
    fileName: 'custom_export.csv',
    autoDownload: true,
    autoClose: false
};

nuPrintCSVExportOptions(exportOptions);

Available Options:

• delimiter – Field separator (default: ;)
• lineTerminator – Line ending (default: \r\n)
• includeHeaders – Whether to include column headers (default: true)
• bom – Add BOM for UTF-8 encoding (default: true)
• fileName – Name of the exported file, e.g. export.csv (default: a form's description + .csv extension)
• autoDownload – Automatically start download when the page loads (default: false)
• autoClose – Close the tab after download completes (default: false)

This gives you full control over how CSV files are generated from your form’s Browse screen.
