In this article you will learn:

1. What is a CSV data export

  • When you are exporting your data from Allex, you will receive a CSV file in which all selected data is structured in form of text. You will get the link to download your CSV file via email

  • This gives you the option to process the data with Excel or other applications to create analyses and reports

2. Where and how to export data to CSV

You can export data from the Portfolio and the Global search

Export data from the Portfolio view

  • In the Portfolio area, you can use the Quick export to export all project data (Project-ID, name, Task-ID, responsible, status, resource assignments and custom fields) of the organisation

  • Click on Export to CSV in the three-dot menu on top and select Quick export

  • If you only want to export selected data or projects, type your selection criteria (e.g. @AllexAI & #TimeStatus:OnTrack) into the search field and press Export to CSV and select Quick export

  • You will receive a notification from Allex shortly. Check your email to find the download link for your CSV file

Export data from the Global search

  • To be able to export task data in addition to project data, the Global search offers several options

  • Open the Global search and select between Tasks and Projects

  • Enter your search criteria, e.g. you want to export all completed tasks of the responsible Allex AI from the Retrofit 12x projects. This will result in the following search criteria: Tasks; @AllexAI, #Status:Done and Retrofit 12x

  • Next, you trigger the CSV export just like in the Portfolio using the three-dot menu

  • You can extend the Quick export with the resource information on booked hours per team or role

  • Click on your preferred export option and you will receive a notification that the download link has been sent to you via email

3. How to export member list of an organisation

You can export list of all members of your organisation following these steps:

  • Go to your Profile by clicking on your profile picture in the bottom left corner and choose Manage organisations

  • Choose the organisation you need from the list

  • Using the three-dot menu click Download member list (CSV) and the download will start immediately. You can find your CSV file in the Downloads section on your browser

Note: only Admins have rights to export CSV files.
