Saving to a file
Answer

I have a page that a user selects a variety of items out of drop down lists. I would like to be able to save the selected items to a file (.csv preferred) on the users computer, with the typical prompts of course.

Hello Ry,
I didn't think this was possible directly in HTML5, but our dev team says it might be! We'll get back to you soon.

Thanks Nav,

I am comfortable calling an external js script that can do this based on css, but I would prefer something more intergal to SmartBuilder for portability reasons, such as dumping varbiables into a file. I look forward to your possible solution.

Hi Scott,
There is a new block under Advanced > Procedure that does this. Here's a quick video tutorial:

Reference image attached. Let us know if you have any questions. And out of curiousity, can you give us a high-level overview of your use case?
