CSV Creation

A comma-separated values (CSV) file are comma separated data values stored in a file. A CSV file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in a plain text format.

 

The CSV Creation connector by IConduct allows exporting the organization’s data while creating a CSV file as an end-point data container for storing the relevant information.

 

To configure the CSV Creation connector, follow the instructions below:

  1. In the Admin Navigation tree, select Connections and click New.
