112 Chapter 9 Importing, Exporting, and Printing
To export from a subset of records:
1 Use the search field or Advanced Find to create a subset of records.
See ”Search Field and Advanced Find” on page 27.
• For search, the set of records that matches the criteria is displayed as you
type the search string.
• For Advanced Find, click Find to display the set of records that matches
the criteria.
2 Follow steps 2-5 in ”Exporting from a Library, Collection, or Smart Collection”
on page 110.
Bento exports the table view field data from the subset of records into a file with
the name you specify.
Additional Ways to Export Information
In addition to the File > Export menu item, Bento provides another way to export
information as a file:
• Drag a library or a collection icon from the Libraries pane in Bento to the
desktop or to any folder in a Finder window. Bento exports the field data from
all the records in the library or the collection into a file with a name matching
the library or collection name and the file format matching the current Export
Format setting in the Preferences dialog.
For files that you
export by dragging
them to the Finder,
select a file format.
