1 Introduction

This tutorial is suitable for all skill levels.

The NBN Gateway is the primary route within the NBN to publish data to a wide variety of users. This includes both the actual providers of data to allow things like integration of maps within websites or distributing data validation across a wide number of individuals as well as allowing the use of the data within other users such as local planning authorities and the Country Agencies.

Data must be supplied for loading onto the Gateway in a standard format known as the “NBN Exchange Format (v2.1)”. This tutorial explains how to generate data in this format from Recorder 6 using a Recorder extension (addin).

The overall approach is to install an addin to Recorder that specifies an additional export filter. This then allows data to be exported in the NBN Exchange format anywhere that “Export data” is found in Recorder. This includes individual surveys, report wizard outputs and export filters.
