In plain English
This means sending out just the data entries that have been actively chosen, rather than the whole table or list. The selected rows are taken for use somewhere else, such as another file, program, or system.
In context
Here, it means exporting only the rows that are currently selected from the table or list for use in another file, program, or system.
- Situation
- Using dashboards, tables, filters, sorting, views, and bulk controls
- What it communicates
- offers export of the currently selected rows
Meaning limits
The term alone does not indicate how the data will be exported, only that the export is limited to the rows currently selected.
Examples
“She selected three rows in the table and exported the selected rows to a new file, leaving the rest out.”
“Highlight the overdue entries, then export selected rows to another system.”
