Skill body
Export & Delete Operations
Exporting Data
Export records from a table or object as an XLSX spreadsheet or CSV file. Exports support the same query/search/sort filters used for listing.
Export as XLSX
frontline table export xlsx <name> [--output file.xlsx]
frontline object export xlsx <name> [--output file.xlsx]
# Export all people
frontline object export xlsx people
# Export with filter (high-value deals only)
frontline object export xlsx deals \
--query '{"path": "[Amount]", "operator": "gte", "value": 10000}' \
--output big_deals.xlsx
# Export with search + sort
frontline table export xlsx sales_data \
--search "enterprise" \
--sort '[{"path": "[Revenue]", "type": "desc"}]' \
--output enterprise_sales.xlsx
Export as CSV
frontline table export csv <name> [--output file.csv]
frontline object export csv <name> [--output file.csv]
# Export all records as CSV
frontline object export csv people --output people_backup.csv
Default Output
If --output is not specified:
- XLSX:
./<name>_export.xlsx - CSV:
./<name>_export.csv
Deleting Tables/Objects
[!CAUTION] These operations are destructive and irreversible. All rows, fields, views, record types, and associated data will be permanently deleted.
Delete a Table
frontline table delete <name>
Delete an Object
frontline object delete <name>
Response
{ "deleted": true, "name": "my_table" }
Workflow: Backup Then Delete
Always export before deleting:
# 1. Export everything
frontline object export xlsx legacy_deals --output legacy_deals_backup.xlsx
# 2. Verify the export file exists and looks right
ls -la legacy_deals_backup.xlsx
# 3. Delete the object
frontline object delete legacy_deals
