From different places of the Local Website you can browse your data, and/or export your own in different formats:
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 |
Tab separated plain text(.txt) | Data stored as a text, with columns separated by spaces. It can be opened with Microsoft Notepad, WordPad and TextEdit. |
 |
MS Excel file (.xlsx) | Spreadsheets. It can be opened with Microsoft Excel. |
 |
MS Excel file 97-2003(.xls) | Spreadsheets. It can be opened with any version of Microsoft Excel. |
 |
Google Earth (.KML) | Geo-referenced information that can be displayed in maps. It can be opened with GoogleEarth, but also with other GIS software. |
 |
eXtensible Markup Language (.XML) | Data encrypted to be transferred through the web. |
 |
JavaScript Object Notation (.JSON) | File for machine learning. Allows exchange of data between different computers. |
We take the example below from Explore> All my observations, the past 30 days (see image Exporting your data). Select a template (for example, BASIC) and click on the format (for example, Excel). Place the mouse pointer on the format icons to see which extension corresponds to each icon. Once you click on the format, the file is automatically generated in the format you selected. Create your own templates using the wheel next to the template expandable list. See your exports in All my exports (see image Exporting your data, creating files).
The file shows in orange while being created and turns green when it is ready to be downloaded. To download, click on the file name. Place the mouse pointer on the "i" icon when the file is ready in order to see the characteristics for each format type. To delete any file click on the X on the top right corner of the file area (see image Exporting your data, files ready to export).
Note: images and examples are drawn from the French portal Faune-France. The design and position of some tools may vary slightly from portal to portal. To see a list of portals go to wiki section Local portals and partners. |
