Exporting from a Library, Collection, or Smart Collection
When you export records from a library or collection, you can choose to export all the values from all of the fields in table view or only those fields that are currently displayed in table view.
Exported files (for example, in a file list field) cannot exceed 200 megabytes (MB) of data each.
To export from a library, collection, or Smart Collection:
1
Select the library, collection, or Smart Collection that contains the information you want to export.
2
Choose File > Export.
3
Click Numbers, Excel, Text, or Template.
To export a file compatible with versions of Excel earlier than Excel 2008, export a Text file.
 •
For Numbers, Excel, or Text, choose “All records” or “Only current records.”
 •
For Template, choose any related libraries that you want to export. To export records with the template, including those of any related libraries you have chosen, select “Include records in template.” (Bento by default includes records.) Aliased files referenced in any file list fields are also exported when this option is selected.

Click Next, then specify the filename and location for the file.
