Export employees

You want the list in a spreadsheet: to audit time zones, to start the next Employee File upload from what Pyn has, or to hand to someone without a Pyn login. Export writes the table’s columns to a CSV and delivers it as a download in Notices.

Before you start

• The view is a Table with columns. Active has columns and offers Export; a view without configured columns, such as Upcoming, does not. Save your own view with the columns you want if you need another cut.

The view-type menu on a table view holds Export.

Steps

1. In Pyn, open Directory in the left navigation and select the view to export, for example Active.

2. Open the view-type menu: the button at the top that reads Table.

3. Select Export. Pyn starts building the file in the background.

4. Open Notices in the left navigation. When the file is ready a notice reads Active_2026-10-22.csv is ready to download (the view’s title and today’s date) with an Expires time.

5. Select Download.

Note

An export holds at most 1,000 rows and only you can download it; it expires after seven days. The columns are the view’s: for Active, Name, Primary Email, Country, Time Zone and Manager.

What you should see

A CSV in your downloads with one row per employee in the view and a column per table column. To use it for an Employee File upload, add the employeeId column and rename the headers to the property keys in Employee properties.
