Does Order Export update system data?

Hi all,

I think I am just being a nervous nelly here--I am hoping to ask a partner venue to use the Order Export Utility for us and see that there is a red screwdriver next to the utility in the Reports & Utilities menu.  There is not the scary red warning that it will update data and I have used it before with no changes to my system that I've noticed.  But before I pushed it on someone else I wanted total clarity!  It doesn't make any changes, right?

Thanks!!

Frannie

  • The export utility does not update anything. You are basically taking data out of the system. The import utility is what will alter the data.

  • That’s right.  It doesn’t make any changes. It has the screwdriver because that’s the utility symbol, and it’s labeled a utility because it’s not really reporting on anything.

  • Just letting you know that I never would have tried this utility myself because of that red screwdriver. This report is exactly what I needed today. I'm thanking you Frannie for writing this post which mirrored my concern. It's perfect!!
