![118 - 01 - Grid toolbar-11_1 Export](https://5796933.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/5796933/hubfs/DOCUMENTATION/ARTICLE%20SCREENSHOTS/118%20-%2001%20-%20Grid%20toolbar-11_1%20Export.png?width=794&quality=high)

You may Export a set of documents after you have run a search or selected a folder, or after directly selecting documents from the Grid with checkmarks.

1. Click **Export** on the Grid Toolbar.
  1. **Act On -** Choose ***Selected documents***(if relevant) or ***All documents in results list****.* ![96 - 03 - Export selection](https://5796933.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/5796933/hubfs/DOCUMENTATION/ARTICLE%20SCREENSHOTS/96%20-%2003%20-%20Export%20selection.png?width=933&quality=high)
  2. **Settings** - ![118 - 02 - Export settings](https://5796933.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/5796933/hubfs/DOCUMENTATION/ARTICLE%20SCREENSHOTS/118%20-%2002%20-%20Export%20settings.png?width=720&quality=high)
    1. Set a ***Job Name*****for the Export; this is optional but worthwhile for download specification and tracking.
    2. Choose the format to ***Export as*** (*Excel/CSV* or *Text*) for selected metadata. If *Text* is selected, a Profile item appears to specify the type of delimited text to be used; *Concordance* is the default.

    3. Check to include ***Native files*** in the export. If selected, the following additional options appear:
      1. ***Native file(s) to include*** confirms the selected documents.
      2. ***File name*** specifies the naming convention to use for the exported native file(s):
        - *Use Begin Number* - the document control number.
        - *Use File Name Field* – the file name metadata.
        - *Use Image Set Bates Number* – production set number.
        - *Use PDF Set Bates Number* - pdf set for the production number.
      3. IF you’ve selected one of the two Bates Number options, select a starting production number from the **Use Prod. Number From**dropdown.
      4. ***File name ordering***offers choices corresponding to the File Name selection above:****
        - *Default Ordering*******– by control number.
        - *Field Value Ordering*– by the file name field.
        - *Prefix Ordering*– by production set and numbering.
  3. **Fields -** Specify the metadata to be present on the export coversheet; all current field profile metadata are selected by default. You may deselect and select fields, and re-order using drag and drop handles at left.

  4. **Sort -** Specify the export document sort order field(s); *Item ID* is the default if no other field is specified.
    1. You may add a field by selecting the checkbox(es) and clicking the right-pointing arrow button at center, or by using drag and drop handles at left of the field tile.
    2. Once in the Sort-By-Fields column at right, you may re-order using drag and drop or by editing the sort order number to the right of the field name.
    3. The sort order of each field is specified by the arrow button between the checkbox and the field name.
    4. A sort field may be removed by selecting and clicking the left-pointing arrow button at center, or clicking the **x** at the right of the tile.

  5. **Volume -** Adjust the export folder naming and numbering and size, useful in large exports, specifying:

    2. ***Start#*** - Value of first export folder defaults to *1*.
    3. ***Number of Digits*** – Number of digits for export folder numbering; defaults to *2,* for folder naming that would start at *Vol01*.
    4. ***Max Size (MB)***– 650 is the default, corresponding to the size of a CD if burned to that medium.
  6. Click **Submit** to run.
2. Results will be displayed in the **Export**table on the **Jobs Management** screen.
  1. Click **Jobs** in the Navigation Pane to open Jobs Management.
  2. Under **Jobs**, click **Export**.
