Is there a way to export a load plan in multiple file types (e.g. .txt and .xlsx) using one export hub in Automator?​​ I am trying to clean up a visual process because we had eight exports, four of which were the same load plan but in different file types. I want the names to be the same, just different file types.

    Hi Jon,
    It is not possible to export multiple file types, but you can create a group to improve the aesthetics from this . . .

    I generally find it is easier to finish the process design first, then select all the export elements, right click and select group.

    Hi Jon,
    You cannot create one export for multiple file type in Automator nor in Data Prep Studio. 
    Basically one export for one file type.
