Downloading Data Sets

Each report or dashboard is made up of ‘tiles’. For reports, there is typically only one tile: the data set.

  • Within a report or dashboard, hover over the report field headers towards the right-hand corner. You’ll see three dots (when you hover, it will say ‘Tile actions’); click and then select ‘Download data’

    • A popup will appear and the default format will be ‘CSV‘ (see note below)

    • Select ‘Advanced data options’

    • DO NOT change the settings under ‘Results’ or ‘Data values’; otherwise, you may corrupt the data export

    • Under ‘Number of rows to include’, select ‘All results’ to export the data set to include any rows past the defaulted 500 visible in the interface

    • Click ‘Download’ to download your results (Note: once you click ‘Download’, depending on the size of the data being extracted, you won’t necessarily see your browser doing anything for a few minutes. Once the data has been extracted, you’ll see your browser update the ‘download’ icon typically found in the top right of your browser. This is a limitation of the Looker application that VitalSource is not able to alter at this time.)
