Exporting the Asbestos Register

Occasionally, you may need to export your asbestos register into a spreadsheet program like Excel, Open Office, or Google Sheets.

This can save you time re-keying data when creating asbestos management plans or importing data into third-party software.

Flow Mobile provides several ways to export asbestos register data, depending on what you need to do with the information.

You can export data from a complete report, copy individual tables into a spreadsheet, or use a custom export when you need a specific format.

Copy an Asbestos Register table to a spreadsheet

Most Flow Mobile templates have a built-in Copy Table Data option. This is useful when you only need to export the asbestos register, or another individual table, rather than the whole report.

1. Log in to the Flow Mobile Dashboard.
2. Open the relevant report and click View Report.
3. Navigate to the asbestos register table you want to export.
4. Click Copy Table Data. The table data will be copied to your clipboard.
5. Open your destination document, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
6. Paste the data into your spreadsheet.

Other ways to export data

Depending on what you need, Flow Mobile also provides other export options:

• Export Report Data – export all the data from a single report.
• Custom Exports – export specific data in a customised format.
• Export the Jobs List – export a list of jobs matching your search criteria.

Which option should I use?

If you simply need the asbestos register in Excel or Google Sheets, Copy Table Data is usually the quickest option. If you need all of the information from the report, use Export Report Data instead.

If you require a particular layout or need to export specific asbestos information in a different format, a Custom Export may be more appropriate.

Tip: If you cannot see the Copy Table Data option, the template you are using may not have it enabled. Contact Flow Mobile support if you need help exporting your data.
