To start using the extension, first click on the Chrome extension button . A widget should appear in the top-right corner.

Selecting columns

  1. Click on one of the data that we want to select (e.g. product title).
  2. Click on the dropdown button to select filter options.
  3. Check the filtering options. All data with the same filtering attributes should be selected. This will be a column of our data table.
  4. Now, the widget in the top-right corner should contain one label. Each label represents a column in our table.
  5. Click on the label to rename or delete a label. Then click Closed.
  6. Click on the checkmark on the widget to apply our selection.
  7. Now we have successfully selected one column of data. Repeat steps 1 to 6 to select all the columns we want.

Selecting record

  1. Select a bounding box which contains all of the data entries in one row of our table.
  2. Use filtering options to select all such bounding boxes.
  3. Rename the label to "records". Alternatively, just click the "records" button.
  4. Apply the selection.

Export to Table

  1. Now that we have the data we need, click on the grid button on the widget to export the data to a table.
  2. Click on Copy in the top-left corner. Now we can paste it to Spreadsheet or Microsoft Excel.
  3. Alternatively, we can export the table to a Excel, CSV or PDF file.
