Exporting Document List Information

The Copy List To commands are used for sending document list information to the Windows clipboard, or to a printer. The document list is the contents of the document display pane in ProjectWise Explorer. If no documents are selected, Copy List To selects all of the documents at the root of the folder; if some documents are selected then only the information for the selected documents is taken. Once copied to the clipboard, you can then paste the list into the application of your choice. The purpose of these options is to have reporting of document information, where the exported information can be used to create text reports about ProjectWise documents.
