11.7 Export User List
From within SwyxWare Administration you can export a list of all users directly into a file. This list can then e.g. be re-imported to the phonebooks of other SwyxServers.
For further information on importing a user list into the phonebook of a SwyxServer, please refer to 7.6.1 The Import and Export of Phonebooks.
How to export the user list
1 Open the SwyxWare Administration and choose the SwyxServer.
2 Please select the "Users" folder and click with the right mouse button on the folder.
3 Select the entry "Export user list…" from the shortcut menu.
The export wizard for the user list will open.
4 Activation of the corresponding checkbox will define which entries are to be exported. Furthermore, you define whether
*to export the user description
*to export the SwyxWare groups
*to export only the first entry for a user/group.
5 Click on "Next >".
Select the name and the path for the export file and define
*whether an existing file should be overwritten
*whether the first line of the file should contain the name of the fields being exported (column name).
6 Click on "Next >".
7 Close the Export wizard with "Finish".
You will receive a CSV file in which the data fields are shown in quotation marks and separated by semicolons, whereby one line is used for each entry.
