History & Data Table
History
The History tab shows every extraction job you've run — completed, running, paused, or failed.
What You Can Do
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| View job details | See source URL, timestamp, item count, and tool used |
| View data | Open the data table for any completed job |
| Re-run a job | Click Re-run to repeat a job with the same configuration |
| Stop a running job | Click Stop on any in-progress job |
| Delete a job | Click the delete icon — removes the job record and all its rows |
Job Statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Running | Extraction is actively in progress |
| Completed | All data collected successfully |
| Paused | Extraction was stopped manually; data collected so far is saved |
| Failed | Job encountered an error that could not be recovered |
Re-Running Jobs
Re-running repeats the extraction with the same selectors, pagination settings, and configuration. This is useful for:
- Weekly price monitoring on the same category page
- Refreshing a dataset when the source page updates
- Retrying a failed job after fixing the underlying issue
New rows are appended to the existing dataset. Duplicates are automatically filtered out at the database level, so re-running is safe and won't create double entries.
Data Table
The Data Table opens in a new tab for a full-screen data management experience. Access it by clicking View Data from History or after any extraction.
Grid View
Data appears in a spreadsheet-style grid with:
- Column headers matching your extraction schema (Title, Price, URL, etc.)
- Sortable columns — click any header to sort ascending/descending
- Filterable columns — type in the column filter input to narrow rows
- Row count shown in the bottom status bar
Editing Data
- Edit a cell: Click any cell to enter edit mode, type your change, press Enter to save
- Delete a row: Click the row's delete icon on the right side
Changes save immediately to local IndexedDB.
Merging Datasets
If you ran multiple extraction jobs on different pages of the same site, you can combine them:
- 02Open the Data Table for one job.
- 04Click Merge Dataset.
- 06Select another job from the dropdown.
- 08Rows from both jobs are combined into one table. Duplicate rows are filtered automatically.
Exporting Data
Click Export CSV to download all visible rows as a .csv file.
- The filename is
crawlpilot-[job-name]-[date].csv - All columns in the current schema are included
- Filtered rows are excluded from the export (only what's visible is exported)
Storage
All data lives in your browser's IndexedDB. There is no cloud backup. To avoid losing data:
- Export CSV regularly for important datasets
- Use Settings → Storage Management to monitor usage and set retention policies
