Export to CSV is already there oob, why have you created anew one?

@Anurag Tripathi 
but end user doesn't know the functionality to get in csv.so, i make him easy to export

[saikumarkak]

@Anurag Tripathi,

function exportCSV() {
if (!confirm("Do you want to export the current incident list to CSV?")) {
return;
}

var gr = GlideList2.get('incident');
if (!gr) {
alert('Incident list not found.');
return;
}

var encodedQuery = gr.getQuery();
var view = gr.getView();
var orderBy = gr.getOrderBy();

var exportURL = '/incident.do?CSV' +
'&sysparm_query=' + encodeURIComponent(encodedQuery) +
'&sysparm_view=' + encodeURIComponent(view) +
'&sysparm_order=' + encodeURIComponent(orderBy);

window.location.href = exportURL;
}

does this script make sense for my above requirement

its an unnecessary technical debt for the platform, you should just train user how to use it.
