Why are DCO reports semi-colon delimited rather than comma and essentially impossible to organize?

I get that "CSV" is being used as a generic term.

But we really need to be able to parse this file so it can be usefully sorted.

 

 

The file is semi-colon delimited, yet the information is not broken down enough to be well organized or sorted. 

Example - inventory file

the Name, Location, Barcode, Part Number, and Description columns are semi-colon delimited.

However, the details of the location are separated by a "/" 

And then there are some "," between elements of the details about the Item Description  for products from APC - so irrelevant

 

Any person managing a facility needs to be able to sort by :

Row

Rack

Rack Unit

Having all of those in 1 cell, makes it hard to work with - 

 

You also have the "left-rear" and such that need to be isolated from other location information - 

 

These inventory reports and export files need to be delimited to a greater degree and by a single delimiter. 

 

When can this change be implemented ?

Hello Eric

This change was made to DCO a while back because there are field elements which contain comma's so it was causing problems for some customers.

However, under the tools-preferences menu option, expand the general pane and select 'csv export', you can select comma or semicolon as the delimiter used in in DCO exports. I pasted a screenshot below for reference purposes.

Regards

To add to Greg's comment:

Perhaps exporting out from Equipment browser better fits your need?

You can select to show the following columns  to supplement location:

Room

Row

Rack

U space

 

Refer to Christian Riis' tips on using equipment browser:

Regards,

Chris
