How are linked record values exported?
How are linked record values exported?
Linked record fields are exported as the primary field value of the linked record (the record name), not as record IDs. If multiple records are linked, they are joined with commas.
Are attachments included in the export?
Are attachments included in the export?
Attachment fields export as URLs pointing to the file. The files themselves are not included in the CSV.
Can I export to Excel format?
Can I export to Excel format?
