Exporting Multiple Business Process or Data Inventory Records in a Customized CSV File Format

Overview

The Configure Export feature lets you build fully customized CSV reports from your Business Processes or Data Inventory list page. You can select specific records or include all records, apply filters, choose which columns to include, and either download the report immediately, send it by email, or schedule it for recurring delivery.

This article explains how to configure, schedule, and manage custom CSV exports.

✓Apply filters and choose which columns appear in the export
✓Download immediately, send by email, or schedule recurring email delivery
✓View, edit, download, and delete scheduled and completed exports

Record Setup

There are two ways to determine which records are included in the export:

•Export specific records — In the list view, select the checkbox next to each record you want to include, then click Configure Export from the Download menu. A message at the top of the modal confirms the number of records selected.
•Export all records, including future ones — Do not select any records on the list page. Click the Download button and then select Configure Export. You can apply filters to narrow the criteria. If the report is scheduled, any new records that match the filter criteria are automatically included in future deliveries.
Configure Export Tab

The Configure Export tab is displayed by default when the Export CSV modal opens. From here you can add a report name and description, select and reorder columns, apply filters, and choose how the report is delivered.
