Set export options
Export files:
- Are created and stored on the Connexion server.
- Allow appending until downloaded. You can continue exporting to the same file until you download the file.
- Contain records that are exported either by any user from one institution (OCLC symbol) or by one user (authorization number). The default file type is Institution. To create export files for your individual authorization, set the Export File Type option (on the Export Options screen) to Individual.
- Remain available for download for 90 days from the file creation date. After 90 days, the system automatically deletes export files.
- (Optional) Specify a file name for downloaded export files.
- From the Export Options screen, under Export File Name, enter the file name and extension in the File Name text box.
OR
Keep the default file name (export.dat).
- Name specified. When you download an export file from the Download Export Files screen, the system automatically supplies the specified file name and extension.
- Default name. If you do not specify a file name, the system supplies the default name (export.dat).

- From the Export Options screen, under Export File Name, enter the file name and extension in the File Name text box.
- (Optional) From the Export Options screen, under Export File Type, specify the type of export file to use.
- Institution export file (default). Connexion creates export files that contain records exported by anyone logged on with an authorization number linked to your library's OCLC symbol. The export file will be delivered the next day.
- Individual export file. Connexion creates export files that contain records exported by a user logged on with a specific authorization number.
- (Optional) From the Export Options screen, under Fields to Delete on Export, type the 3-digit MARC tag numbers to specify the fields you want to remove from each bibliographic record before exporting the record for local use.
- To delete a single field, type the tag number in the text box.
- To delete a range of fields, type the first and last tag to be removed, separated by a hyphen.
- Separate single tags and tag ranges with commas.
Example: In the Fields text box, type 920, 938, 945-999 to remove fields 920 and 938, and fields 945 through 999, from all exported bibliographic records.
