Save personal or group filters

You can save a filter for later use. The filter will automatically update if changes are made in the model. Group admins can also save filters to their user group, so others can see them. 

The filter is saved either in a personal filters folder, or a folder named according to the user group it was saved in.

Exporting data from quantities

The information displayed in the Quantities function can be exported from Dalux as a list in an Excel spreadsheet, making it easy to save, distribute, or use the information elsewhere. When exporting from Quantities, it will export the information currently displayed, which means that filters will affect the export.

To export from Quantities, click on the -icon located on the right side of the Quantities view and click Export:
