Import and export

Import a file

Open Rivi, Import and choose Import a file, or start a new table from a file. CSV, JSON and Excel (.xlsx) work. The first row becomes the column names. Rivi finds the file's character set and the CSV separator on its own.

Import from another table plugin

The same screen shows a card for TablePress, Ninja Tables and wpDataTables when they have tables on your site. Pick the tables and press Import. Your old tables stay as they are, and running it again updates the tables it made before. See Moving from another table plugin.

Export

Each table exports as CSV, JSON or Excel (.xlsx) from the Embed tab of the table editor. Cells that start with =, +, - or @ get a leading ', so a spreadsheet never runs them as formulas. Numbers stay numbers.

Pro

• Export and print buttons let visitors download the table as CSV, JSON or Excel, or print it. Only public columns are included.
• Live sources: posts, Google Sheets, CSV or JSON from a web address, Fluent Forms entries and more. Visitors always see stored rows, so your pages never wait for another site.
• Scheduled sync and big imports refresh source tables on a schedule and finish large imports in the background.
