Export and import

Open Export ▾ in the toolbar. For how exports work in every tool, see Exports.

Save the program as a file #

Space Ledger file (.spaces.json) saves the whole program. To get it back, use Import.

Export to a spreadsheet #

• CSV spreadsheet: every space with its subtotal, for Excel or any spreadsheet.
• Excel workbook (.xlsx): the same rows as a workbook, with numbers ready to sum.

Each row has the department, space, quantity, SF each, subtotal, percent of net budget and notes. With advanced grossing on, it also has each department's grossing and DGSF. The totals follow at the bottom: net allocated, grossing, projected gross, target and net budget.

Export the diagram #

• Diagram PDF
• Diagram PNG
• Diagram SVG: a vector drawing you can edit.

Each fits the whole program to the page, with the program's name, totals and the date at the top. The file name starts with the date and the program's name.

Import a program #

Click Import in the toolbar and pick a .spaces.json file. It opens as new work on this computer.

Import reads Space Ledger files only. It doesn't read a CSV or Excel sheet.

Who can export what #

Viewers of a project, and people opening a view-only link, can export the diagram as a PDF or PNG once they're signed in. The file, the spreadsheets and the SVG are for the project's editors and your own work. The menu says which items you can use.
