SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It provides a safe, documented workflow for downloading records from Frontline tables and objects as spreadsheet files and for permanently removing tables or objects, including a backup-before-delete pattern to prevent accidental data loss. ## Core Features & Use Cases - XLSX and CSV Export: Export records from any table or object with optional query filters, search terms, and sort rules applied before download. - Destructive Deletion: Permanently delete a table or object along with all rows, fields, views, and record types using the Frontline CLI. - Use Case: Before decommissioning a legacy deals object, export it to a backup XLSX file with a filter for high-value deals, verify the file exists, then delete the object to clean up the workspace. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to export the people object as an XLSX file and then delete the legacy_deals object after confirming a backup exists.

FAQPage Schema
How do I export Frontline table data to Excel or CSV?▼

Run frontline table export xlsx <name> or frontline table export csv <name> with an optional --output flag. The same commands work for objects, and you can add query, search, and sort filters to narrow the exported records.

How do I delete a table or object in Frontline?▼

Use frontline table delete <name> or frontline object delete <name>. The operation is destructive and irreversible, permanently removing all rows, fields, views, record types, and associated data.

Can I filter records before exporting from Frontline?▼

Yes, exports support the same query, search, and sort filters used for listing. Pass a JSON query with path, operator, and value, a --search string, or a --sort array to control which records are included.

What happens if I don't specify an output file for a Frontline export?▼

The CLI writes to a default path in the current directory: ./<name>_export.xlsx for XLSX exports and ./<name>_export.csv for CSV exports.

Is Frontline table deletion reversible?▼

No, deletion is permanent and irreversible. The recommended workflow is to export the data first, verify the backup file exists, and only then run the delete command.
