Actions
SaveTo CSV Action
Save data to a CSV or TSV file.
The SaveToCSV Action saves each submission data as a new record in the specified local CSV or TSV file. Use it to store or log submissions.
Pre-formatted CSV File
To use the SaveToCSV action, you must provide a pre-existing and pre-formatted CSV file. The action won't create or format the file by itself. The CSV file can be as basic as a list of column headers separated by commas set in the very first line, as for example Name,Comment,Date.
How To Integrate
To use the SaveToCSV action, first load or create a Form Area and access its configuration panel. Then, add an instance of the SaveToCSV action and configure its settings.

Once the file is set, a list of configurable panels will appear for each column in the Columns field. By default, the columns are disabled, and no content is saved, resulting in a blank row being appended. Therefore, it is essential to enable all columns that should contain data and set a static or dynamic value in their configuration panel.
