Representation of the Tree View in the CSV Export

The CSV file produced by the Export

 Let us consider the following Tree View of the Tasks board as an example --

...

function presents the project's tree structure in a tabular format, where each item node from the tree is translated into a single row within the spreadsheet.

Key Points of the CSV Structure –

• One Item Node Per Row: Every item node in the tree structure corresponds to one row in the CSV file. This one-to-one mapping ensures a clear and organized representation of each item from the Links Explorer. You can identify the node represented in the row by looking at the Item name column in the CSV.

• Indent Level: The Indent Level column indicates the hierarchical position of an item within the tree. Items at the top level have a lower indent level, while nested items show a higher indent level, maintaining the parent-child relationships present in the visual tree.

• Link Column: In the tree, item-nodes are visually connected by the link-nodes to denote board connections/links. In the CSV, this corresponds to the Link column which identifies the parent link-node of the item. This establishes the relationship between the item and its predecessor in the hierarchy.

• Other Field columns: After the above tree specific columns, you will see the other field values spread out as columns. Each item-node information field is represented as a column and its value for a row will be the corresponding value in that item node. If an information field is irrelevant to or absent in a node, the corresponding cell would be left empty.
