    How to Use TexAu Data Store to Manage and Export Automation Results

    The Data Store in TexAu provides a centralized view of all executed automations, along with options to view, manage, and retrieve their results. Here's how you can navigate and use this feature effectively:

    Accessing the Data Store

    Navigate to the Data Store from the left-hand side menu after logging into your TexAu dashboard.

    Overview of Data Store Dashboard

    The main dashboard displays the following details for each workflow:

    • Workflow Name: The name of the automation (e.g., "LinkedIn Profile Scraper").
    • Created On: Date and time the automation was created.
    • Elapsed Time: The time taken during the current execution.
    • Total Run Time: Cumulative time of all executions.
    • Status: Highlights if the workflow is Completed, Stopped, or requires attention (e.g., "Desktop Is Not Online").
    • Platform: Specifies the associated platform (e.g., LinkedIn or Google).
    • Scheduled: Indicates if the workflow has a recurring schedule.
    • Actions: Options to Open, See Data, Manage Executions, or delete the workflow.

    Actions Menu

    Click the three-dot menu under Actions for additional workflow options:

    • Clone: Duplicate the automation with the same configuration for quick re-use.
    • Reset: Restart the automation and clear its previous execution history.
    • Manage Executions: View all execution instances and manage their status.
    • Delete: Permanently remove the workflow.

    Execution Settings

    The Manage Executions option lets you:

    • View all instances of a workflow.
    • Check their Created At timestamps and Current Status.
    • Change the status (e.g., start or stop specific executions) directly from this screen.

    Filters

    Refine the dashboard view using the following filters:

    • Filter by Store: Limit results to specific stores.
    • Filter by Status: Focus on workflows with specific statuses like "Completed" or "Stopped."
    • Filter by Account: Display workflows associated with selected accounts.
    • Filter by Platform: Narrow down automations to specific platforms like LinkedIn or Google.

    Viewing and Managing Data

    • See Data: Opens a screen where you can:
      • Download CSV: Export workflow results for offline access.
      • Open Google Sheet: Directly access results in a connected Google Sheet for analysis.
    • Open: Modify or reconfigure the automation's settings.

    Additional Features

    1. Deleting Workflows
      You can delete multiple workflows or automations at once by selecting the checkmarks next to them and clicking the delete option.
    2. Search Bar
      Use the Search Bar at the top of the Data Store to quickly find automations or workflows by name. This is especially useful for users with a large number of workflows.
    3. Creating a New Workflow
      Create a new workflow by clicking on the New Workflow button in the top-right corner of the dashboard. This allows you to set up and customize automations as needed.

    Tips for Optimizing Data Store Usage

    • Clone Workflows for Efficiency: Use the clone feature to quickly replicate workflows.
    • Analyze Execution History: The Manage Executions feature is useful for troubleshooting or rescheduling incomplete runs.
    • Export Data Regularly: Download data to CSV or Google Sheets for easy sharing and further processing.

    Using the Export Tab in TexAu

    The Export Tab in TexAu helps you track, manage, and access data exported from automations and workflows. It provides a detailed log of all exports, their formats, and their statuses, ensuring seamless access to workflow results. Here’s how to navigate and utilize this feature effectively:

    Overview of the Export Tab

    The Export Tab displays a comprehensive list of data export activities. Each entry includes:

    • Name: The name of the workflow or export task (e.g., "LinkedIn Profile Scraper").
    • Created At: The date and time when the export was initiated.
    • Export To: Specifies the output format, such as CSV or Google Sheet.
    • Status: Indicates whether the export is Completed (available for download) or Expired (no longer accessible).
    • Actions: Options to download, view, or re-initiate exports.

    This tab provides visibility into your data export history, ensuring you can retrieve results efficiently and monitor the status of previous exports.

    Accessing and Managing Exported Data

    1. Completed Exports For workflows marked as Completed:
      • If exported as a CSV, click the Download button to save the file locally for analysis.
      • If exported to a Google Sheet, click Go To Sheet to directly open and review the data in Google Drive.
    2. Expired Exports For workflows marked as Expired, the exported file is no longer available.
      • Click See Results to re-request or regenerate the file from the workflow’s result table.

    Important Note

    TexAu keeps your data stored on its servers for 7 days. After this period, expired files can no longer be downloaded or accessed. Ensure you save your results within this timeframe to avoid losing critical information.

    Tips for Export Tab Optimization

    1. Download Files Promptly: Ensure you download your files while they are marked as Completed to avoid missing critical data.
    2. Leverage Google Sheets: Export results to Google Sheets for better collaboration and sharing with your team.
    3. Monitor Expired Files: Regularly check for expired files in the Export Tab and re-request them to maintain updated datasets.

    With the Export Tab, TexAu provides a streamlined way to access, organize, and manage your data exports, making it easier to retrieve and analyze results from your workflows.
