• Microsoft Excel – for a standard excel format (.xlsx); or 
• Delimited text – for a comma separated (.csv) or tab separated (.tsv) format 

2. If Delimited text is chosen for the export format, administrators must identify what delimiter will be used from the Delimited text format drop-down list.

• A tab separated value (.tsv) file will be generated if tab is chosen; and
• A comma separated value (.csv) file will be generated if any other option is chosen.

3.  Choose the Column header format

• None – Columns do not include the field label in the first row
• Label – The first row contains the field names for each column.

4. Select List Options to identify how list the submissions for select fields should be handled in the export file

• Separate – This will set each selection item as it’s own column and selection will be indicated as an X. This method is more suitable for building reports and graphs.
• Compact – This will set a Select field as a single column with each item appearing with a comma as the delimiter.
• Included Export Components allow administrators to select the fields that will be part of the export. Choose the option Include all components to have all fields included in the export, or check only the desired fields for the export.

5. Download Range Options – Narrow the export file based on one of the following rules.
