Exporting registers

The export oparation generates two files:

• a *.regs file that contains the registers information in XML format which is also used by the import operation.
• a *.csv file that contains the registers information in plain text CSV (comma-separated values) format that can be used for easy visual inspection in an external text editor or MS Excel/Open Office.

To export register data to a file:

1. Open the Registers view ( Registers view).
2. Click the Export registers button in the Registers view toolbar.

   The Export Registers dialog appears.
