Export Options
The Results toolbar includes two additional buttons that allow you to export the search results from MediaCentral Cloud UX:
• Copy Results
• Download Results
When working in the Search Results area, these buttons are inactive until you select one or more assets using the processes below. If you are working in the In-line Hits window, the buttons are always active and apply to the current asset only.
Copy Results
This button allows you to copy metadata from the selected search results to a temporary buffer (the clipboard) on your local workstation. Once the information is in the buffer, you can then paste the data into an external application such as Microsoft Notepad, Mac TextEdit, or other.
To copy the search results:
1. Select, Shift-Click, or Ctrl-Click (Windows) or Cmd+Click (Mac) one or more assets from the search results.
2. Click the Copy Results button in the upper-right corner of the Results area to copy the assets to a temporary buffer.
3. Open another application on your local workstation to paste the contents of the buffer.
Download Results
This button allows you to export selected metadata in the search results list to a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. Files created in a .csv format are most commonly used in spreadsheet applications, where each comma signifies a new column in the spreadsheet.
You cannot specify the name of the file at the time of its creation. The file is automatically assigned a name based on your Date Format selection in the General section of the User Settings. For example if you select the YMD option, the file is saved in the following format:
Search Results - <YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss>.csv
The values represent the Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minutes, and Seconds.
To download the search results:
1. Select, Shift-Click, or Ctrl-Click (Windows) or Cmd+Click (Mac) one or more assets from the search results.
2. Click the Download Results button in the upper-right corner of the Results area to export the asset list to a file on your local workstation.
The list of assets is automatically downloaded to your local workstation. Check your browser’s settings to verify the download location.
