Hidden Web Items and Export to Excel

Former Member

Greetings experts,

here's the question. If i create a hidden information field in my web template and then try to access that information in the export to excel button, nothing is exported to the excel file. If make that object visible, it does work. Is this the way it is supposed to work? Goal is to not show this information on the template, but just to export it to excel when the button is hit. Any input would be appreciated.

best,

Hi,

This is the way it supposed to work. there is a work around for this.

Use the Information field in a container web item and hide the conatiner web item.

thus you will not show the information field in the browser, but when you export to excel the information field is transmitted to the excel. i have tested this and it is working.

Thanks

Ravi,

If it is just one web item (few items). Can you just collapse it and check how the printing works?
