Purpose of this add-on
You have already customized
an Outlook form with your own fields. At some point
of time, you're going to want to put data into it or
get that data out. But it might come as a big
surprise that you cannot use Outlook's
built-in Import and Export wizard to export
data from custom forms. User-defined custom fields are absent on
the data mapping grid in the export wizard. Even
worse, you might not get any built-in Outlook fields
data at all, if
you try to export from items that were created with
custom forms. So, you are
forced to write codes to handle all import/export
chores involving custom forms yourself. What worst
is that, what you wrote works only for that
particular Outlook form that you customized. What if
you have many customized forms?
Database Exporter add-in for Microsoft Outlook is
designed to overcome this limitation (i.e., the
inability of the Outlook's built-in 'Import and
Export Wizard' to handle data in custom forms), by
allowing you to export any kind of data, including
custom fields, to a database, in a simple click, or
even better, on the fly with no intervention from
the user.
How does it work?
With Database Exporter, there
are 3 ways of exporting Outlook data to an external
database, namely:
To export the contents of an Outlook folder,
click the ‘Export to DB’ button as shown below.
You will be shown with the ‘Select Fields’
dialog, with which you can opt which form to be
used for displaying the available fields.
By default, the first option ‘Retrieve from
the first item’ is selected, and what it does
is, to probe the first item of the folder and
automatically seek out all the available fields,
including any number of user defined custom
fields. It is recommended that you stick with
this option of displaying the fields, unless,
you want to retrieve Outlook specific fields
only (second option), or want to use a
particular custom form out of many defined for
that Outlook folder (third option).
By default, when you export the contents of an
Outlook folder using the ‘Export to DB’ button,
only the items of the current folder is taken
into account. Items inside the subfolders (if
any) are excluded from the export. Below are a
few export options available.
When
exporting to database, include all items from
subfolders- When you choose to export the
contents of an Outlook folder, enable this
option to include items in subfolders of any
number of levels.
For example, below, the current folder is ‘My
Company’. When exporting this to database, if
you had checked this option, the contents of the
subfolders such as ‘Bookings’, ‘Cases’,
‘Ongoing’, ‘Customers’ etc, will also be
exported to the same database.
Export
all data from all subfolders to a single table
- Export all the items in the current folder, as
well as those in subfolders in the same/single
table, using this option. With this, the fields
that you had chosen for the current folder will
be applied to all the items in the subfolders as
well.
Export
data of each subfolder to separate table in same
database - Another option is to export items
in each of the subfolder to a separate table.
This gives more flexibility in configuring the
field options of the subfolders to be exported.
For example, you can set the same chosen fields
as that of the root folder, or use the default
form for that subfolder, or even better, probe
the first item of the subfolder to seek out the
available fields. The latter option comes handy
if you have user defined fields available on the
folder or the item level.
Database Exporter supports
real-time monitoring of any number of Outlook
folders (can be a public folder or shared
mailbox folder
too). This will automatically process incoming
mails or newly added appointments, tasks or
contact items and add the data for the chosen
fields to the database, without any intervention
from the user. This automation would be
particular useful, if you want to maintain a
parallel copy or backup of your current Outlook
items.
Automatic export works by allowing Database
Exporter to monitor selected Outlook folders
(can be a shared or a public folder too), such
that, when new emails are received or new
appointments or tasks are added, Database
Exporter automatically processes those items in
real time and extract relevant data and add them
to a pre-configured database. Each folder would
have exactly one database each.
Automatically update DB record when
Outlook item is updated/changed – If you
enable this option, whenever an existing
Outlook item on a monitored folder is edited and
saved, instantly the changes will also be
reflected in the corresponding record in the
database. This feature enables you to maintain
synchronization between the Outlook items and
the records in the database, on the fly, with no
manual work.
Removing database record on item deletion
from Outlook
If the Outlook folder is monitored for auto
export, a delete button appears in the Database
Exporter toolbar that enables you to delete the
unnecessary Outlook items and at the same time,
remove the corresponding database records
automatically.
Automatic live export enables you to maintain
a parallel copy of the Outlook data and keeps
the database in synchronization with that
particular Outlook folder. This spares you from having to do that laborious
work of copying and pasting the data from
Outlook to database manually.
