How to Export Users

Overview 

Exporting users lets you take your user records out of FieldPie to work with them elsewhere—for reporting, for keeping a backup, or as the starting point for a bulk edit. You choose the users you want and download them as an XLSX or CSV file. Exporting is also the first half of the Excel bulk-edit workflow, because the file you download already has the right columns and rows to edit and re-import. Selecting only the users you need keeps the file focused and easy to work with. 

Before You Start

You need access to the Users area and permission to export data. Decide whether you want specific users or your whole list, and pick the format that fits how you will use the file—XLSX to open in Excel, or CSV to feed another system.

  • Select only the users you need to keep the export small and manageable.
