Download an export

Exporting a table view does not download a file straight away. Pyn builds the CSV in the background and tells you through Notices when it is ready.

Before you start

• You selected Export in the view-type menu of a table view, for example Directory > Active. Export employees walks through it.

Steps

1. In Pyn, open Notices in the left navigation.

2. Find the row that reads [view title]_[date].csv is ready to download, for example Active_2026-10-22.csv is ready to download, with Expires and the time left underneath.

3. Select Download. The file saves through your browser.

4. Select the dropdown beside the action and choose Close to archive the notice once you have the file.

Note

Only the person who started the export can download it, and the file is kept for seven days. An export holds at most 1,000 rows; a larger view is cut off at that point.

What you should see

A CSV in your downloads with one column per column of the exported view and one row per item. The notice stays in Open until you close it, and the file can be downloaded again until it expires.
