Reporting: Data Export to CSV

With the appropriate permissions, users can export data directly from DroneSense to CSV format. CSV files can be opened in most common spreadsheet applications, such as Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, Google Sheets, or a text editor.

Where to find it

The Export CSV button can be found in several locations on the website. See the examples below: 

• On almost every page of the website, such as Flights & Missions, Members & Teams, Hardware, etc.
• On various detail pages

*If you do not see the button or link, your profile does not have the appropriate permission. Contact your Organization Administrator or DroneSense Support.

Using Filters

The CSV file contains all the data within each section, not just the data displayed on the page. For example, if the records are displayed across multiple pages, the CSV will contain all the records.

You can limit the data exported by filtering the results. For example, if you specify all flights tagged as "Training," those by a specific pilot or a certain drone model, the CSV export will only contain those records that match.

Adding CSV Export to Users

The CSV Export is automatically available to Organization Administrators and may be available to other users depending on their Roles and Permissions. 

To check if a user can use CSV Export, follow the steps below:

1. As an Organization Administrator, navigate to Admin > Roles. 
2. Select a role such as Member.
3. Scroll to the Reporting section and check if the CSV Export is checked.
   
4. If it is not checked, scroll to the bottom of the page, click Edit Details, and then check the CSV Export box and click Save.

*We do not recommend modifying existing roles and recommend this support article on Roles prior to making changes.
