Data Reports

Data Reports provide a scalable way to export large amounts of data from instellix. Unlike table-based CSV exports, Data Reports are generated in the background and are optimized for large datasets.

Currently, Data Reports are available for the Document data area. Additional data areas may be added in future releases.

⚠️

Creating a Data Report

  1. Navigate to Reports → Report Files.
  2. Click the + button.

Property Columns

Property Columns allow you to map specific properties to dedicated report columns. For each column, you define the property to export and the column header that should appear in the CSV file.

  • Property Ident – the property whose value should be exported
  • Column Header – the column name displayed in the CSV report
