NPOTA, Search Parameters?

Hi.
I'd like to generate a list of NPOTA contacts I've made but are not yet confirmed. What is the best way to accomplish this?
I'm looking for exchange info: callsigns, date/time, freq, mode and RSTs so that I can follow up with op.s that I still need confirmation with. Hopefully a list I can export or print would be nice.
Thanks,
Mike

It depends how you saved the NPOTA references?
If you used our awards manager then there are two ways of generating a list and a method to print labels
1. By using statistics and awards and saving to CSV file produces this report

- Capture.JPG (214.44 KiB) Viewed 3722 times
2. By using the QSO archive manager 'Search Parameters' as below

- Untitled2.jpg (55.09 KiB) Viewed 3722 times
Can produce this report as a csv or an ADIF file

- Untitled.jpg (222.99 KiB) Viewed 3722 times
Alternatively you could use our QSL Manager - Print Labels in a similar manner to print label's for QSL cards to be sent to the unverified NPOTA stations
However if you recorded the NPOTA references in a different way like using the comments or notes field a different approach is required

Well that is embarrassing! I'd been saving the 'Export to CSV' file all along but never opened it assuming it was just a check list similar to what is shown in the "Statistics and awards" window.
Awesome. Thank you.

Question -
Where are the 'Saved Searches' stored; in a file or in the database? Is there a way to save them in case I accidentally deleted some (like I just did!!)

in an xml file in your configuration but it is encoded so of no use to a user
However there is a save and load button and a drop down to select a saved search so you don't need the actual file

Thanks.
Right but I didn't understand the big - button and clicked it several times deleting saved searches. I've done that a couple of times now. Perhaps a confirmation "Are you sure?" would be nice there.
