IC Attention.pngUsing the OuputEncoding "ANSI" means that the exported text is written according to the default Windows System Locale Setting (e.g. English-US)!

Usage

This activity is used to start the export of CSV data. It is a nestable activity, which means it can host any amount of sub-activities that will be processed sequentially. The hosted activities are typically CreateCSVRow activities, either as direct children but also wrapped within looping activities like ForEach or While.

IC Attention.pngThis activity provides the created CSV document to all CSV sub activities, so the CSV sequence will be built in the very order the sub activities are nested!

Example
