Hi Joel, i am setting all the checkboxes to true, so when the csv is 
downloaded i get all the columns. Setting the checkbox as true adds that 
specific column in the csv. It should not affect the csv output.

What do you think? is my approach correct where i am getting the URI of 
the href 'csv' and dowloading the file. Also i think there is just one 
csv hyperlink on the page, though i will double check again.

thanks.
