Is somewhat related to 'Export', sideways: conscientious users and/or motivated users. I've used it a few times in the last few days.
The Export is a tool that can also be very suitable for that type of LD users to be able to contribute just that little bit more.

Why is that so important? If only administrators improve, we will not get there. And for 2 reasons.

First of all, the number of administrators at Stamps seems large (exactly an army) but is insufficient. Fortunately, you don't have to be an administrator to improve and take the catalog to a higher level. You can do that too (you can DoDo it!). (*) (**)

In addition, the system of checking (reviewing additions and adjustments) in the Stamps section has been made in such a way that an item, where you have changed something yourself, can no longer be reviewed yourself. In other words, it remains 'open', and in the module that administrators use it is invisible to you. In the long run, there are many items that no administrator can see anymore: they have all changed something (depending on their specialty or purpose). If non-admins make more changes (correct improvements), then that problem does not occur.

(*) I had already explained how you can actively detect (and correct) errors on LD, with the existing filters, sorting and search. And everyone can do that.
Now you know how to do that with the export (more and better). Excel, however, is a bit too much of a good thing for some users. That's not for everyone. You don't have to wake up. Not everyone is T shaped. There is plenty to do with the facilities on the site that are within your capabilities.

(**) Internationalization ... the market (number of users) is becoming very large. Exponential expansion. Also resulting in excessive supply (new additions and changes to existing catalog items). Proportionally, the poor input/adjustments may not increase. However: 5% on 100 compared to 5% on 1000 ... that is 10 times as much in absolute numbers! And the number of administrators is not increasing (in fact decreasing).
Also have a look in the FAQs (the 'Frequently asked questions'), under chapter 'Administrators', for question 3. :)

Another one I use it for (among other things): to put together different areas that belong together in my opinion. To classify the books based on that.

Example: the countries/territories below belong together, but are listed alphabetically on LD and are therefore divided. By adding a 'belongs to' list you can quickly get an overview in Excel.

This only applies (to a slight extent) to the Stamps section.
However, the demand for new Administrators remains. There are sections with too few and/or no administrators.

Thanks Raoul62 koenkuijpers and Leike-w for the examples and explanation. In case of theft, fire and (let's hope not) a fatal crash of the LD servers, an export is a handy tool. I haven't done it yet, give it a try.

Then you can start working with it in Excel. That's too much 'work' for me, I'm not that skilled at it either. Then it becomes more of a task, something like that takes the pleasure out of collecting for me. Besides, I don't have that much time. I also don't necessarily collect to have everything (of a country/region), searching is what I like the most (as well as improving the catalog).

I would like to test/use the export function.
It may be that the export function (not always) works correctly. There is no way I can export my collection (or sub-collection)... (both not with microsoft edge and chrome as a browser (pc) and a chrome browser on my smartphone).
When I press the export button, I cannot choose a category. Even if I first choose a category and then press the export button, the category window is also empty and I cannot adjust it. (ps I do have the option to switch between an exel and csv file).

You probably only have 1 section in your collection, which is why you cannot choose other sections. Do you also have the Export button under the Excel - CSV options:

I have, but it's "grayed out" because I haven't selected a section (and can't select it either)

Collectioneur and Rene ,
An addition to the above. It seems that I only have 1 column...
It might be good to know that I started my collection by adding the first purchase that I purchased through lastdodo with 1 press of a button.

I have tested the following:
If I add a coin from the catalog to my existing collection (with only stamps), I seem to be able to do an export of that single coin (in the Coins section). If I remove that coin, I no longer have any sections.

If I add a random stamp from the catalog to my collection (with only stamps), then I seem to be able to do an export of that one Stamp (in the Stamps section). If I remove that stamp, I no longer have a section.

If I add a random stamp from the catalog to my collection (with only stamps) then I have created a category, but there is no way I can transfer all other items from my collection to that Stamps category.

Here is the problem, it is now solved for you, you can do a good export again.
There will be another general fix for everyone.

Collectioneur,

Geez it was fixed quickly (for me).
All items in my collection do indeed fall under the Stamps category and I have just successfully exported all items in my collection.
Thank you very much for this very fast service.

Don't mention it. During this holiday period it is difficult to fix something, luckily the cause was quickly found.

good morning. I've been using export function for years, easy to find errors in collection/search. Also handy to take with you when you go to a trade fair. And easy that it is directly in Excel.
In overview of collection (flat list) I miss an essential field, namely Series. Essential to sort the albums, or, for example, to select envelopes on the first day of stamps

Another wish for the export function: the input date field.
It's about
- Catalog (date it was added as a new item)
- Search list (date I added it to my search list)
- Collection (date I added it to my collection)
- Shop (date I added it to my shop)

For 'Stamps' I also miss the field ' Type '.
The export is also used by me to help with administrative work.


This appears to be a 'duplication'.
Only when I go to LD with that I see that one is a 'Seal' and the other is a 'Tanding variety'. No duplication.
A few weeks/months later I see that again and I don't remember what the difference was... so I'm going to look again on LD ...
If 'Type' is in the export, I see it there immediately.

Of course, in combination with a (only for administrators regarding their 'specialty') full export (not limited to collection) the export could be used much more effectively.
A real tool for the administrator ... With a column 'not fully reviewed' (ie: pending) ...

My exports are not coming in, at least, unless the "few minutes" are to be taken broadly. I've been waiting for 1.5 hours already. I have tried Excel and CSV, as well as large collections and small ones. It makes no difference. Of course my e-mail address is correct ;-) Am I too impatient or are there perhaps problems? I like to hear it.

Are Usage Type and Type in the pipeline? I'm trying to find something to get my Dutch city mail together, but at the moment I can't get much further than "has no NVPH number". Keeping envelopes, stamps, blocks, series, etc. apart is also a must.

By the way, my main goal is to make a good shortlist, but city mail is too incomplete to do that properly, so now try the reverse.

Last week I exported my search list. The Use Type and Type columns are missing. The goal was to be able to give someone a shortage list for NL city stamps, but without a use type and type that is impossible. I would have preferred to just give him the URL to LD, but that is not possible for the search list.

What about the adjustments for which columns are included in the export? Is an online shortage list that is visible to third parties planned?
