[edit] Create a descriptive ‘title’ for the new configuration.

1. Click on the associated checkboxes to choose the relevant information you need to export for an item.
2. Under ‘File export type’ choose either to export originals, previews or the custom derived files if applicable. The default selection is ‘Export originals’, this selection should be changed as required.
3. ‘Output type’ gives the flexibility of choosing different format for the information exported from specific items. The default selection is ‘Excel’ and is recommended to use this because of the ease of viewing and comparing data in Excel table format. Other type includes PDF, XML and XML for import configuration.
   • Note: If choosing XML or XML for import configuration, specifically if using XML for re-importing, make sure the syntax and structure is coded properly.
4. The next section ‘Names of attributes to export’ should be filled if the user wants to export information related to any specific attributes/metadata of any items. For example Title or Content, use linebreak to separate the attributes.

1. • Title
