Export & Backup Group
You can export the contents of a group to a CSV file for backup, reporting, or external use. This allows you to work with your data in a spreadsheet or store a local copy.
What Is Included in an Export
When you export a group, the file includes:
- All people in the main group
- Basic details (name, email)
- All custom fields
The export includes all data, even if some fields are not currently visible in your view.
Export a Group
- Open a main group
- Go to the People tab
- Open the Actions menu
- Select Backup or Export
A CSV file will be generated and downloaded to your computer.
Use the Exported File
You can use the exported file to:
- Review or analyze data in a spreadsheet
- Share participant data with your team
- Create a backup copy of your group
Unique Identifier (EVENTENE_ID)
Exports include a unique identifier column (EVENTENE_ID).
- This ID uniquely identifies each person
- It can be used when importing data to update existing records
Using this ID helps ensure accurate updates when syncing data.
Permissions
Exporting a group is typically limited to administrators for security reasons.
Only main groups can be exported. Subgroups are not exported directly.
Tips for Backups
- Export your data before making large changes
- Keep a copy of important groups
- Use exports to verify your data structure
