To export entries in the Jobs table into a single Comma-Separated Value (CSV) file, click the button at the top of the portlet and select Export table to CSV.
The exported list only contains entries for jobs that match all the filters that are currently set. For example, if you select the Print link in the System Summary portlet, the list in the CSV file contains only the entries for jobs in the Print phase. The entries are sorted by job number. This function is useful if you want to track the set of jobs at the start of each shift or day.
To display a footer row that shows the totals of many numeric job properties, select some jobs and click the button and select Show Totals Footer. The values of the properties you selected to show are summed for the selected jobs and the totals are displayed in the footer. To change what properties are displayed in the footer, right-click in the footer and select Choose Footer Properties. Make sure the properties you select are also included as columns in the Jobs table. To remove the footer, right-click in the footer and select Hide Totals Footer.
