Export Locations and User Experience Improvements

Export locations patched

Exporting locations from the locations page was not functioning properly when specific locations were checked. With the locations table open you can now check specific locations on the list and use the Bulk Actions drop down menu to export a downloadable CSV file. It was brought to our attention that this feature was downloading all locations, not just those selected. This has been resolved.

Exporting select locations from the locations table was not functioning properly. With the locations table open you can now check specific locations on the list and use the Bulk Actions drop down menu to export a downloadable CSV file. It was brought to our attention that this feature was downloading all locations, not just those selected. This has been resolved.

Along the way we made the export downloadable CSV action behave as a single page application. That means the Export Downloadable CSV action no longer performs a full form post where the server needs to read the entire page, process the data, send the CSV file, and then redraw the entire page. As a single page application a separate on-page request is made to the server which sends back the ready-to-download CSV file without having to redraw the entire page.

The end result is the export action is not only faster but also more reliable.
