# Export data

> Export ION data to CSV or Excel on demand or on a schedule, track each export job, and download the finished file.

The Exports page delivers a data view from ION as a CSV or Excel file, either once on demand or on a recurring schedule. Each run of an export is a job whose status and output you can check from the export's detail page. ION can email the file to the recipients you set, or download it straight to your browser.

## Request an export

1. In ION, go to **OS > Exports**.
2. Click **New Export**.
3. In the **Create export** dialog, fill in:
   * **Name**: what to call this export. This field is required.
   * **View name**: the data view to export. Start typing to search your available views, listed under **Available views**, or enter any view name you have access to. This field is required.
   * **Format**: **CSV** or **Excel**.
   * **Delivery**: how you get the file, **Email** or **Download**. This choice is available on the **Run once** tab; scheduled exports always deliver by email.
   * **Delivery recipients**: the email addresses that receive the file. At least one is required. This field appears only for **Email** delivery.
4. Choose when it runs:
   * On the **Run once** tab, click **Run now** to run the export immediately. With **Download** delivery, ION prepares the file and saves it to your browser once it's ready. With **Email** delivery, ION emails the recipients when the file is ready.
   * On the **Schedule** tab, enter a **Cron expression** and pick a **Timezone**, then click **Save schedule** to run it on a recurring cadence. ION emails the recipients each time the file is ready.

## Manage exports

The Exports table lists each export with its **Name**, **View**, **Schedule**, and **Last updated**. Use the **Enabled** toggle to pause or resume a scheduled export. The actions menu on each row offers **Run now**, **View details**, **Enable** or **Disable**, and **Delete**.

## Check job status and download the file

1. On the **Exports** page, open the actions menu on an export and click **View details**, or click the export's name.
2. The detail page shows the export's **View**, **Format**, **Schedule**, **Recipients**, and whether it is **Enabled**, with a **Run now** button to trigger it again.
3. Under **Recent jobs**, each row is one run:
   * **Status**: **Pending**, **In progress**, **Completed**, or **Failed**. A failed job shows its error message under **Details**.
   * **Trigger**, **Started**, and **Completed**: how and when the job ran.
   * **Rows** and **Size**: what the job produced.
4. On a completed job, click **Download** to save the file.
