In this article you will see a step by step instruction to export data into excel spreadsheet, from an OA Framework page. This can be achieved via very simple personalization to OA Framework page. The first step will be to find out the ViewObject Instance name from which data will be exported. This can be found from "About This Page" functionality. For this demo, Oracle iProcurement home page is used. We will be doing personalization to this page to add an "Export Button". When user clicks on this button, data from OA Framework View Object will be exported into excel spreadsheet. For this example, all the currently open notifications for the current user will be exported to excel spreadsheet. The name of the ViewObject used for exporting data from OA Framework Page is "OpenWorklistVO" in this case, and this can be found from "About This Page".
First find out the name of the ViewObject using "About This Page"

This is our About this Page Information. We can see the View Object from which data will be extracted to Excel

Now that we know the View Object Name, we can click on Personalize

Let us Create a New Item for Export Button

Select Export Button

Attach the View Object to the Export Button being created, and give this button a label

Now let us return to the main iProcurement page

We can now see the button created

Click on the button

Excel Spreadsheet will be opened

Is there a way to import data from excel into a custom form that is attached to a specific responsibility.
So the form should be able to read from a excel sheet on the USer desktop.
Thanks

Thank You for the Good Note, Useful article.
I am reviweing this to implement in HRMS world to help our clients.Will update if any success from our side.
Thanks and Keep up the good work as lot of people are learning from you in true spirit of "what i can give back to community",
instead of thinking and acting of "what i got from community".

Very nice article.
My query is how can we export data from two different view objects one for master and the other for details.
For example, iSupplier PO Search page lists all the purchase orders as per the entered search criteria. Now I want to provide a button on the search page so that user can export all the POs (the complete PO, including header, lines and shipments) that he has searched.
Please provide necessary guidance if it is possible.
