Exports
Create and download export jobs (CSV, XLSX, JSON, PDF) from the Export Centre.
Overview
The Export Centre queues and tracks export jobs, with storage quota visibility and download/retry actions.
Where it lives
Route: /admin/settings/exports (admin.settings.exports.index)
Open Admin → Data → Exports. Requires exports.view. Create/cancel/retry use export job policy abilities.
Key workflows
| Action | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| New export | Source model or live filter; format CSV/XLSX/JSON/PDF; Ransack filters; column picker |
| Cancel | Queued or processing jobs |
| Download | Completed jobs with a valid signed token |
| Retry | Failed jobs |
The UI polls about every 5 seconds while jobs are active. Column visibility respects the user’s permissions (e.g. cost columns).
