Finding export file

Software for the consignor

Finding Your Export (or other) File for TagIt and TagItLite
Some sales ask the consignor to send a file that contains detailed information about the consignors sale items. The value of doing this is that the sale has more detailed information about each item and more detailed reports can be given back to consignors at then end of the sale.
A. General instructions:
TagItLite - After entering all items, click on the Export button on the Sale Items tab of the TagIt Lite Main Form.
TagIt - After entering all items, click on the Export button on the 3 - Selected Sale/Tags tab of the TagIt Main Form.
Both - Follow the prompts and note the name and location of the file that is created. The name of the file is based on the first few letters of the sale name and the consignor ID with a zip extension. (The consignor may be prompted to enter personal information which is included in the file.) If more than one export file has been created, a number may be added at the end of the root of the file name. E.g. SAM134ID2.zip is the name of the export file created for the Sample Consignment Sale for consignor 134. The 2 indicates that this was the second export file created. Depending on the settings on your computer, you may not see the zip extension.
TagItLite default file location: c:\program files\tagitlite or c:\program files (x86)\tagitlite
TagIt default file location: c:\program files\tagit or c:\program files (x86)\tagit
See below for attaching the file to an email.

B. The export file is not in the default folder
If you have the Vista or Windows 7 operating system and cannot find the export file in the default location, it is possible that the file is located in the "virtual store" where "compatibility files" may be created. (These instructions may also apply to files created by the backup procedure or diagnostics.)
These files may even be "hidden" if you have not changed the default setting for viewing files. How to display hidden files and folders.
Here is how to look for the export file:

1.	Press the Windows Start key and choose Computer. The shortcut for this is to hold down the Windows Start key and press E.
2.	Navigate to the default location where you have been told to look for the export file, e.g c:\program files\tagitlite.
3.	You have probably already checked here and not found the desired export file.
4.	Does "Compatibility files" show here? If so, click on it and hopefully you will find the file
5.	If you find the file, see below for options on attaching the export file to an email.

If you cannot find the file using the above method, try navigating to the following folder in Windows 7. For Vista, most likely you need to substitute "Program File" for "Program File (x86)". Remember that you may need to display hidden files and folders.
	TagItLite:
	users\[your user name]\app data\local\VirtualStore\Program File (x86)\TagItLite
	TagIt:
	users\[your user name]\app data\local\VirtualStore\Program File (x86)\TagIt

C. Attaching the export file to an email
Your options depend upon your email program.
1.	Email programs such as Windows Mail, Outlook, Outlook Express, or Mozilla Thunderbird allow you to copy the file by right-clicking on the file in My Computer and selecting Copy and then right-clicking in the email and selecting Paste.
2.	Web-based email programs usually provide a way to navigate to the file that you would like to attach. Because the "compatibility files" may be hidden, this may not be possible. You may need to find the file as in B. above and then copy the file to a folder that can be located by your email program.
