The contact export log is stored for 90 days, just like other activity logs.
Exporting contacts using reports
To export contacts, you need to:
- Create a new report.
- Select the necessary display settings for general information fields and choose the required report type.
- Important:You should add a column for each contact/company field that you want to see in the final file.
- Setting the filter conditions lets you select contacts based on a specific combination of factors. If you don't set any filter conditions, the report will display all contacts in Planfix.
- Run the report.
- You can export the final report to Excel which gets you an Excel file with the contact and company data you need.
Exporting contacts as part of a general data export
You can also export contacts as part of a general export of all data and files, in the Account management section. The data will be downloaded as a ZIP file, broken out by sections, in JSON.
Only Primary Account Admin can download a general export, and they can only do it once every 30 days, due to the heavy load on the system.
