In this guide we describe how to edit an existing export in the Fynode administration and which fields you can change in the form. We show where to find the edit button, exactly what can be modified and how the changes will appear when using the export in the orders list.
Opening export editing
In the Exports section click the row with the export and then the „Edit“ button, which will redirect you to the edit form. The edit form is identical to the form for creating a new export, it just has the current export's values pre-filled. System exports, for example „Export order“, cannot be edited or deleted.
Template format and dynamic fields
For Excel export you provide rows in CSV format, and you can separate rows with semicolons. For PDF export you insert HTML code which will be used for each order when generating. You can put placeholders in the template like {order.number}, {order.client.email} or {order.product.name}, which the system will automatically replace with data from the order.
Fields you can edit
In the form you will find the Type, Name and Template fields. The Type field allows choosing between Excel and Pdf, Name is a unique export identifier and in Template you enter the export content including placeholders that will be replaced with actual order data. After editing just click save and the changes will appear in the export list.
How do I run editing of an existing export?
Open the Exports section at https://fynode.com/exports, find the export you want to edit, and click the "Edit" button. The system will open a form identical to the one used when creating a new export, but prefilled with your export's data.
Can I change the type of an existing export from PDF to Excel or vice versa?
In the edit form there is a "Type" field with options Excel and Pdf that can be edited. Remember, however, that if you change the type you must adjust the template to the correct format: CSV rows for Excel or HTML for PDF.
How to use dynamic data in an export template?
In the "Template" field enter text containing placeholders like {order.id}, {order.number}, {order.client.email} or {order.product.name}. When generating the export the system will replace these keys with real data from the order, so the resulting file contains specific information for each order.
