    You now can export all the values of a category using this spreadsheet add-on: AODOcs Library admin tools

  • Hello Lachlan,

    Thank you for your request, we are currently working on an Add-on which would allow you to export the content of your categories into a csv or spreadsheet.

    I hope it will fit your expectations!

  • Can you please look at Category Lists being in Alphabetical Order, there is no rhyme or reason to how the list is populated, and when you have over 100 categories its very hard to find the one you want to amend.

     

    Thanks

  • Hi Thibault,

    We do not allow spreadsheet add-ons in our environment. Is there another way to do this?

    Thanks.

  • Hello Amy,

    If you can not install the spreadsheet add-ons, you can directly call the API (which is essentially what the add-on does, plus some formatting).

    Here is the API call that you will want to use:

  • Several more category list improvements

    1. A way to see how many records are associated with a particular category value
    2. A way to bulk delete category values with no records associated with them

    Example:

    We have a library that was imported from another platform and one category has about 1200 values. In this instance many of the values are misspellings or similarly worded. We have been cleaning up the records but it is difficult to know which values are finished, empty and can be deleted. It is then very time consuming to go through and delete them one at a time.
