Sharing Data Using the Output Button

In the top right corner of the DiveTab client is the Output icon, which has options for sharing your information. All data, document, and presentation pages have the option of sharing through Export, Email, and Print.

  • Export creates and opens a pdf file of the page that can be saved and distributed.
  • Email opens the default email service, creates a new message, and attaches the page as a pdf file.
  • Print opens the print dialog for you to select a printer and set print configurations.

Tabular data pages have additional options to Export or Email the tabular information as a spreadsheet:

  • Export as a Spreadsheet creates and opens an xlsx file of the page that can be saved and distributed.
  • Email as a Spreadsheet opens the default email service, creates a new message, and attaches the page as an xlsx file.

TIP: When sharing a tabular data page with many columns, choose a spreadsheet format so that columns align correctly.

The exported file is named after the page. If there is an existing file of the same name, a counter is appended to the file name.
