1. Setting Up the Export CSV tool
The Export CSV requires the Project “Mark” Value setting to be set to match your Equipment Schedule, KitchDesigner supports either Mark (Instance), Mark (Type), or Item Number. The Project “Mark” Value setting is located in Settings > Project.
Click on the Settings button.
The Settings window opens to the Project tab.
The Project “Mark” Value must match the equipment numbering parameter used in your Equipment Schedule.
By default, KitchDesigner uses the Mark(Instance) parameter for the Project Numbering Parameter. Another common choice is the Item Number parameter included in the FCSI shared parameters.
