CSV Output Format for Relations Export

The Relations Export CSV output format describes the values displayed in the CSV columns for the exported relations.

ID Header

The value of the CSV column is the ID of the relation.

Type Header

The value of the CSV column is the relation type.

System Attribute Headers

By default, the CSV headers for attributes are constructed as follows:

The first header of attribute values is the name of the attribute Attributes.<NameOfAttribute>. All the following headers of the attribute values will fit into the pattern as follows:

Attributes.<NameOfAttribute>N

Where N is an index of an attribute value + 1 (the attribute value indexing begins with 0).

The value of the CSV column is the value of an attribute.

Note: The type, uri, ov values of attributes are not exported in a CSV file.

Example for Attribute Headers

Consider the HasAddress relation with two values for phone attributes (the values for HasAddress are specified in the relation's JSON).

Relation JSON

    {
        "uri": "relations/6rla7i0",
        "type": "configuration/relationTypes/HasAddress",

                {

                        "Type": {
                            "value": "Home"
                        },

                        }
                    }
                },
                {
                    "value": {
                        "Type": {
                            "value": "Home Fax"
                        },
                        "Number": {
                            "value": "16442"
                        }
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
  ]
}

Crosswalks Headers

By default, CSV header for crosswalks is constructed as follows:

Crosswalks.<type>.<table_if_present>.ID

CSV column value is the value property of the crosswalk.

Note: The uri, attributes, singleAttributeUpdateDates values of crosswalks are not exported in a CSV file. The reltioLoadDate, createDate, updateDate, and deleteDate values of crosswalks are exported in CSV file only in pivoted view of crosswalks. For more information see Generate pivoted view of crosswalks.

Example for Crosswalk Headers

JSON:

{
    "uri": "relations/15Ex3YMN/crosswalks/43VLKEESR",
    "type": "configuration/sources/AHA",
    "value": "RR002000351",
    "reltioLoadDate": "2021-07-07T05:29:33.747Z",
    "createDate": "2021-07-07T05:29:33.747Z",
    "updateDate": "2021-07-07T05:29:33.747Z",
    "attributes": [],
    "singleAttributeUpdateDates": {}
}

CSV

See Table 2: Crosswalks to find the listed crosswalks.

Table 2. Table 2: Crosswalks
`Crosswalks.AHA.ID`
RR002000351

Start Object and End Object Headers

By default, the CSV headers for startObject and endObject are constructed as follows:

<TypeOfStartObject>.<table_if_present>.ID

<TypeOfStartObject>.<table_if_present>.Label

<TypeOfEndObject>.<table_if_present>.ID

<TypeOfEndObject>.<table_if_present>.Label

The CSV column values for ID is the value of objectURI property of startObject or endObject.

CSV column value for Label is the value of Label property of startObject or endObject.

Note: directionalLabel values of startObject or an endObject are not exported in a CSV file.

Example for Start Object and End Object Headers

JSON:

    "startObject": {
    "type": "configuration/entityTypes/HCP",
    "objectURI": "entities/8HW3W1A",
    "label": "Mary",
    "directionalLabel": "has address",
    "crosswalks": [
        {
            ...
        }
    ]
},
"endObject": {
    "type": "configuration/entityTypes/Location",
    "objectURI": "entities/8HW3aHQ",
    "label": "CH",
    "directionalLabel": "locates",
    "crosswalks": []
}

CSV:

You can find the StartObject, EndObject headers and its corresponding details listed in Table 3: Details for StartObject and EndObject Headers.

Table 3. Details for Start Object and End Object Headers
HCP.ID	HCP.Label	Location.ID	Location.Label
8HW3W1A	Mary	8HW3aHQ	CH

Start Object Crosswalks Headers

By default, the CSV header for startObject crosswalks is constructed as follows:

StartObject.Crosswalks.<type>.<table_if_present>.ID

The CSV column value is startObject crosswalk’s value property.

Example for start Object Crosswalks Headers

JSON:

"startObject": {
   ...
    "crosswalks": [
        {
            "uri": "entities/8HW3W1A/crosswalks/nHoBK6G8",

You can find the list of attributes as displayed in the following table, Table 5: CSV Export Output file.

Important:

The CSV column separator is , and it is not configurable.
A column is present in the CSV output file only if there is at least one value that is not null in the column. The value “” is an empty string value, but not a missing value.
The order of the columns is not fixed and the order cannot be configured.
The headerFormat body parameter, headersStyle and sePrefix and slicedByCrosswalks query parameters of relations export request influence on the headings.
For more information, see Parameters for CSV Headers in the Entities or Relations Export File.

Use the JSON property to find out the differences between JSON and CSV formats. For more information, see Table 6: Differences between JSON Properties and CSV Formats.

Table 6. Differences between JSON Properties and CSV Formats
JSON Property	CSV Header
`uri` For example, the value is: `relations` / `15Ex3YMN`.	The CSV Header is ID. For example, the value is `15Ex3YMN`.
`type`. The value is `uri` of the type. For example, the value is `configuration/relationTypes/HasAddress`.	The CSV Header is type. Value is type itself. For example, the value is `HasAddress`.
`createdTime`	The CSV Header is `createdDate`.
`updatedTime`	The CSV Header is `updatedDate`.
