Exporting Ticket data
When exporting a ticket data file from EasyTicketScan, it can be saved in either XML, CSV or TXT format. The file does not need to be exported in the same file format that it was imported in.
CSV
The CSV export provides a simple comma separated list of the ticket data. The export file contains the following data:
- Ticket Number of all the tickets in the original import
- Date and Time of those tickets scanned - blank if the ticket wasn’t scanned
Duplicate rows show if a ticket has been scanned more than once - see ticket 123123115
example of an CSV file
"123123111","2017-03-14T09:25:10.347Z"
"123123112","2017-03-14T09:25:21.132Z"
"123123113",""
"123123114",""
"123123115","2017-03-14T09:26:01.184Z"
"123123115","2017-03-14T09:26:11.403Z"
"123123116","2017-03-14T09:25:32.405Z"
"123123117","2017-03-14T09:25:42.255Z"
TXT
The TXT export provides a simple text file of ticket data. Fields are separated with a TAB character. The export file contains the following data:
- Ticket Number of all the tickets in the original import
- Date and Time of those tickets scanned - blank if the ticket wasn’t scanned
Duplicate rows show if a ticket has been scanned more than once - see ticket 123123115

"123123117" "2017-03-14T09:25:42.255Z"
XML
XML is the preferred export format as it provides the most information. The export file contains the following data:
- Event ID
- Event Name
- Ticket Number (barcode) of all the tickets in the original import
- Date and Time of those tickets scanned - if the ticket has not been scanned this field is not included
Duplicate tickets show if a ticket has been scanned more than once - see ticket 123123115
