Export All or Some of Your User-Added Data

This process will bulk export your existing data within the application for import into another installation of the ESHA software. This can include all user-added data, or a subset filtered by Type and/or by Group(s).

Export Records

1. Close all open records in the program. 
2. Navigate to the Database Tab and select Export All. 
3. This dialog will open. From here, you can select all records, or filter the output by type or Groups.
4. Click OK. This can take a while if you have a lot of data, but the software will automatically detect the size of the export and suggest the number of files to split the export into (1-24 files). We recommend using that suggestion, if not split into more files (smaller individual files).

Note: You will choose where you want to export the files. We suggest that you create a folder to store the files in if more than one file will be created during the export.

If you are in ESHA Cloud, this document on Saving Files to your Local Computer may be helpful.

   To easily locate the files when you are importing or exporting the exl files. Please create a folder on the C drive and copy the files to that folder.

5. Click Open.

6. Select the appropriate options and click OK.
