Download the output into multiple files

  1. On the export process status page, select the instance of the process to download.

  2. On the action bar, click Download output and select Multiple files. The Download multiple files screen appears.

  3. On the Details tab, in the Create one file per field, select the output field to use to generate the files. For example, to download multiple files of constituent data based on the states in which the constituents reside, select to create one file per state.

  4. When the program downloads multiple files, it generates file names based the values of the field selected in the Create one file per field. For example, if you download an output file for each state in constituent data, the program generates files named Alabama.csv, Alaska.csv, and so on.

    To help further identify the information in each output file, in the File prefix field, enter text to appear at the beginning of the file names generated for the export output. For example, enter “Constituents in -” to download files named Constituents in - Alabama.csv and Constituents in - Alaska.csv.

  5. In the Export format field, select whether to download as CSV (comma-separated value) or XSLX (Excel workbook).

    Tip: The program saves the output of each instance of the export process. To divide the export data in multiple ways, download the output multiple times with a different output field selected as the basis of the files generated.

  6. To view the names and record counts of the multiple files the program will download, select the Preview tab.

  7. Click Download. The program downloads the files as a single ZIP file to your work station. After you open the ZIP file, you can open and save each output file.
