The tool allows objects from the vector layer displayed in the attribute table to be exported to a file in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format.
After using the tool, a file containing all objects and attributes is saved on the user’s disk.
The name of the file is equal to the name of the layer.
In order to export the objects, you need to:
- Open the attribute table for the selected layer.
- Select the objects of interest (if no object is selected, the entire attribute table will be exported).
- Select “Options” and then “Download data as CSV”.
What’s next with the CSV file?
For example, the data can be:
- Viewed in QGIS
- Imported and viewed in an Excel table
