Security considerations

Before exporting

Consider:
  • Do you need all this data?
  • Who will access the export?
  • How will it be stored?
  • When will it be deleted?

After exporting

Handle files securely:
  • Don’t email unencrypted
  • Store in secure location
  • Delete when no longer needed
  • Track who has copies

Troubleshooting

Export button grayed out

Check:
  • Your permission level
  • Whether filters show any results
  • Browser blocking downloads

File is empty

Verify:
  • Filters aren’t excluding all records
  • You have records of that type
  • Permission to see the records

Export incomplete

If records are missing:
  • Check filters
  • Verify permissions
  • Large exports may time out—try smaller batches
