CSV export of objects of a type

You can export the objects of a type to a CSV file:

  1. Navigate to the type, and open its context menu.
  2. Select Export all objects — if a filter is applied, this instead reads Export N objects, where N is the filtered count.
  3. Choose an export mode: User friendly or Data consistent.
  4. The export runs in the background; track its progress in the Activity log.
  5. When it finishes, a pop-up offers a download link — or download it later from the Activity log at any time.

Exporting starts from the type view's Actions menu:

⬆Export all objects
🖨Download QR code for all objects
✏️Edit all objects
↔️Move all objects
🗑️Delete all objects

That opens the export-mode modal:

Export objects

Select the export mode for your data

User friendly
CancelExport objects

This is a single Export mode select, not a multi-step wizard, and it defaults to User friendly.

When the export finishes, the "pop-up" is actually a toast notification with a download link:

✓
Objects in Computer exported
⬇ Download file

It's a dismissible toast, not a blocking dialog. While the export is still running, a separate toast reading "Export started. Check Activity log for status." links to the Activity log instead of offering a direct download.
