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.
Data prior 7 May 2026
We have only been collecting data for this report since the feature was introduced. Therefore, we are unable to provide reports containing data prior to 7 May 2026.
Creating a Data Report
- Navigate to Reports → Report Files.
- Click the + button.
- Configure the report according to your requirements.
- Click Start.
The report is generated asynchronously and will appear in the report overview once processing has completed.

Configuring Report Columns
Standard Columns
Select the standard fields that should be included in the report.
Custom Column Headers
Each selected field can be assigned a custom CSV column header.
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
Example
Configuration:
| Property Ident | CSV Column Header |
|---|---|
| VIN | Vehicle Identification Number |
| CostCenter | Cost Center |
Result in the CSV export:
| Vehicle Identification Number | Cost Center |
|---|---|
| WBA123456789 | CC-100 |
Only configured properties are exported as dedicated columns. If a property does not exist for a record, the corresponding cell remains empty.
