Exporting Reports

Export a report to CSV and receive the file by email.

Every report can be exported to CSV — useful for sharing data with people outside Blue, feeding into a spreadsheet, or archiving a snapshot.

Running an Export

Open the report and click Export in the header. The export runs in the background; when it’s finished, you’ll get an email with a link to download the CSV.

The export reflects exactly what’s in the report at the moment you click — same columns, same sort order, same filters (including any temporary view-level filters you’ve applied).

Exports are emailed rather than downloaded directly so that large reports don't block the UI while they're generated.

What’s Included

The CSV contains one row per record and one column per column in the report. Columns use the display format you see in the table — currency values include the symbol, dates use the organization’s date format, and multi-value fields (like Assignees or Tags) are comma-separated inside the cell.

Aggregation footers are not included in the CSV — calculate totals in your spreadsheet of choice if you need them.

Cooldown

There’s a short cooldown (about a minute) between exports of the same report, to prevent duplicate jobs when someone clicks twice. If you hit the cooldown, wait a moment and try again.

Permissions

Anyone with access to a report — owner, editor, or viewer — can export it. The export reflects what that user would see in the UI, so if view-level filters or access differ between users, so will their exports.
