Tables Export Concept

All of the tabs - Items, Activity logs, Users, etc. - represent data in format of tables that can be selected for export. Each table contains specific fields associated with the represented data.

Each table is exported separately with its fields, and only the selected fields are included to the export.

Some fields, marked with an icon indicating a separate export, are also exported as a separate table.
