In my project I have an event log that I am displaying on a screen. I am also saving the event log to the USB at the end of the process. I have succefully configured the Event display to only display the columns I want, but I can’t figure out how to do that on the USB backup

Is there a way to format the CSV file to only show “Trigger Date”, “Trigger Time”, and “Message”? That is all I am displaying on the Event Display on the screen.

There is no way to format the CSV file generated by a Backup object since the Backup object just converts a DB file into a CSV file, which means raw data is saved and included. Some end users such as supervisors will have to learn about the “Return to normal date &time” and if the event records have been acknowledged. It is worth to keep those four columns for future audit purposes.

Hi @JBeckmann,

I agree with @TimWusa, it is not possible to do this with the backup object. However, it may be possible to accomplish this using a JS object. We will assess the feasibility and try to provide some instructions if possible soon. However, for the time being you can explore this resource: How to read or write txt files to a USB using the JS object

Hi @JBeckmann,

I have sent you instructions via a PM.

Thanks, I got your email with the instructions. I’ll give it a whirl.
