Overview: Export (Download) Prospects and Prospect Data

Introduction

We all love our data! Sometimes you need to retrieve or analyze prospect records. Or maybe you need to build a custom report from prospect data. Perhaps you want to download a file of all prospects who filled out your form, or you want to export all records to have a backup file of your database.

DemandCenter provides an exporting tool that allows users to retrieve prospect records from their database and users can select which fields they want to include in their export files.

Users can retrieve their export files at anytime by going to the Export Queue.

   Note - All exports from DemandCenter are protected. To securely access an export file from download link within your Export Notification email, users will need to log into DemandCenter. Alternatively, users can also monitor the progress of their export by going to the Export Queue.
   
   The Export Queue can be found by going to Prospects > Prospect Lists and then clicking the button located to the right of the New Folder button to choose Export Queue.
   

What is the Export Queue?

The Export Queue shows the progress of all requested Exports in the last 14 days, across all DemandCenter users. Each Export that is submitted for processing is entered into the Export Queue. Users can view the status of their exports and also download their completed export files.
