Creating and Running an Ad-Hoc Operational Data Export
To create and run an ad-hoc Operational Data export:- Select Data exports:

- On the Export schedules panel, select Run ad-hoc export. The Run ad-hoc export page opens.
- Enter the Ad-hoc export details:
- Destinations. Use the drop-down to select the Export destinations to be used for the ad-hoc data export:
- Select a destination.
- If No options shows in the drop-down, you must first create at least one destination before you can set up an ad-hoc data export - see Creating and Managing Export Destinations.
- Alternatively, if you simply want to download the data export file locally, do not select a Destination. See Downloading Data Export Files Locally for more details.
- Export file format. Select the format you require for the data export files:
- CSV. (Default).
- JSONL.
- Source type. Select the Operational data option. The page adjusts to allow you to select a Time period for the export and the Operational data entities you want the export to contain.
- Time period. Define a time period using an inclusive start date/time to define the period you want the ad-hoc data export to cover and control the range of operational data that the export will contain. Only data created or modified from the specified start date/time until now - where this means the date/time the Export runs - will be included. As well as allowing you to set a custom start, several preset options are available:
- Custom. Use the calendar selector to specify a start date/time.
- Today. Data for the current day up until now.
- Week, Month, or Year to date. Data for the period covering the current week, month, or year up until now.
- Last 12 hours. Data collected for the twelve hour period prior to when you make the selection up to now.
- Last 7, 30, 35, 90, or 120 days. Data for the selected number of days prior to when you make the selection up until now.
- Last year. Data for the full year prior to when you make the selection up until now.
- All Time. Unrestricted and the export contains all the operational data available for selected entities up until now. (Default setting)
