How to Create a New List View

If a List View with the columns you need doesn't exist, you can create your own List View by going to View->List View->Choose List and clicking on New.

First, add a name to your new List View.

Then select the fields to add to your new List View. (For help determining the correct fields, see How to Choose Fields for List View and Reports.)

Once you select the field you want, click Add.

Follow this procedure until all fields you want in List View have been added to the Columns section.

If you add the wrong field by mistake, select the field under Columns and click Remove.

You will be asked if you are certain you want to delete the view. Click Yes.


How to Copy and Paste Data from List View

A quick way to copy a subset of data from EMu, is to copy and paste data from List View.

You can select a row, a few rows, or all rows. You can use the Select menu option, or use Ctrl + A to select all rows.

Once you have selected the rows to copy, go to Edit->Copy, or use Ctrl + C.

Then Paste the rows in another application, like Microsoft Excel.

Please note, this is an ideal option for a limited number of fields from less than 5000 records. To export larger datasets, run a Report.
