fields

Field names to export. This is interesting, as you can limit the fields in your export and also use the techniques from Accessing field values and properties to customize the export.

For example:

to export just user-defined fields, without metadata fields

Code Block
https://wiki.vertuna.com/ajax/confiforms/export.action?t=csv&pageId=8159450&fd=f:8159450&fields=mytf,mydf,mydate,mymf&filter=

result:

Code Block
My text field,My Dropdown Field,My date field,My multi field
hello export,one,"Jun 04, 2016",select B
confiforms tutorial,three,"Jun 07,2016",select A select C


to export date field as timestamp in CSV format and dropdown field's ID (not label)

Code Block
https://wiki.vertuna.com/ajax/confiforms/export.action?t=csv&pageId=8159450&fd=f:8159450&fields=mydf.id,mydate.timestamp&filter=

result:

Code Block
mydf.id,mydate.timestamp 
1,146501
3,146527

headers

Since ConfiForms version 2.15.3 you can supply the "headers" parameter as comma separated list of names to use for headers in exported CSV/Excel file
