Exporting Data to CSV

Civic Platform provides a CSV Export item in the menu of every list portlet or list tab. Users can select the CSV Export item to export the list of records on display into a CSV file.

Civic Platform also provides a CSV Export button beside a Custom List table, on the precondition that the Custom List has some data in the database. Users can click the button to export all the data stored in the database for the Custom List, not only the data on display, into a CSV file.

To control the number of records users can export to a CSV file, you must configure the Standard Choice EXPORT_MAX_RECORDS. The value you set for this Standard Choice determines the maximum number of records users can export.
