I tried to export the work done by a group to CSV.

I realized that a lot of information I would need are missing! For example

  • type of object (is it a note? a frame?). it seems to be all mixed together.
  • note color (very useful when we use it to create categories!)
  • comments attached to a note (It seems that only tags are exported?)

Is there any advanced option I am missing?

Otherwise the current export vastly reduces the potential for post workshop analysis.

@silva -

unfortunately that is all that is exported at present. If you search in the community wish list topics you will find a few enhancement requests for CSV exports so you may wish to upvote those…

Hello and thanks for the answer…

I voted them all… so I should also probably then transfer this request into ideas..

as all the proposed improvements are not yet enough.

 Really they would make the difference in miro, and make it also a great research tool!

@silva - And depending on how valuable this information would be, you could investigate hiring someone to build you a custom web-plugin using Miro’s Developer Platform. More information can be found in the developer platform documentation.

From your example above and from what I know of the Miro’s SDK developer platform capabilities, it would be possible for you to select a number of objects, execute a custom plugin, and have it gather all of the information about the objects you have selected, and prompt for download as CSV.

In this quick example, I

  1. opened the Developer Tools console in the Chrome browser
  2. typed in “loadSdk” and pressed Enter
  3. I selected the sticky note that I had created
  4. and then I typed in “miro.board.selection.get()” and pressed Enter.

This is what I can learn from the selected object:

 

As for Comments, I cannot say for sure these are accessible using the developer platform SDK.

Okay… I was curious, so I looked up getting comments in the documentation:

https://developers.miro.com/docs/sdk#scopes

To test this, I created two stickies on a new board and two comments. I then attached one of the comments to the green sticky.

First, let’s get all of the object or “widgets” on the board using miro.board.widgets.get()

 

The red sticky’s ID is: 3074457352554202759

The green one is: 3074457352554202775

Next, let’s get all of the comments on the board using miro.board.comments.get():

 

The comments are there, but I can’t immediately read any more information about them - the actual comment text, who added it, if it is attached to an object or not, etc. 

Anyway.. just some insight as to what is possible!

Thanks for the reply… miro is already quite expensive as it is and I could never afford the development of a plugin! But it doing a fix really relatively easy, as you showed… I hope the miro team will soon implement this useful feature! :-)
