Add the possibility to download summary tables from the UI #5227

We think it would be a nice idea to be able to download this summary tables that you can generate using the interface directly, instead of have to using the API, it can be a small button to download a TSV file.

Maybe it can be for the custom options: image

And also for the general metrics: image This can be particular useful when you have several filters and the datasets search options is not enough.

Are there any considerations around citations if we provide downloadable files @ahahn-gbif ?

Thank you for posting this Esteban. It would be very useful for the Danish node too.

If it is a full data download (issues and flags for all datasets of a publisher, if I understand correctly), I would assume the usual data download citation should apply. I am not sure that is the intention here though - we would just redirect to the data download filter. If it is just the table as displayed, with numbers, I do not immediately see the need for citation of datasets - rather, the search filter, a page link and the usual "accessed through..." GBIF mediator date stamp. What am I overlooking though?

For the "general metrics" breakdowns, I agree it would be very useful being able to just pull the whole table in one go. Again, the source ("occurrence search result [link]), context ("occurrences per dataset" -> "contributing datasets" / "occurrences per issues and flags" -> "reported issues and flags"?), and GBIF-mediated date stamp would apply ("accessed via GBIF.org on [date]"), I assume.
