Overview
This page demonstrates how to use the Table Plus macro, which is part of the Advanced Tables for Confluence app, to provide view users an option to downloading or exporting (as an attachment) a CSV representation of the table view. By specifying the Allow export parameter on the macro, users are given 2 icons that can be clicked to download or export the current table view to a CSV file. Download places the file on the user local system and export creates an attachment.
Available with version 7.2.0 on Server only
See Release Notes 7.2.
