If the cost is acceptable/authorized, reset the Output field to CSV, select Search, and select Continue when the Notification of Chargeable Action panel is redisplayed. Then continue with Downloading the File.

Note:   Charges are billed when the user selects Continue.

 

Downloading the File

If the user chose CSV file for output and selected Continue on the Notification of Chargeable Action panel (Exhibit 50), Umler shows a dialog box for the user to specify whether to open (view) or save the CSV file (Exhibit 52).

 

WARNING:    Do NOT select Cancel. If the user selects Cancel, the download is canceled, but charges will already have been made to the user’s company.
