Export form data

What recipients enter in the fields of a form template can be downloaded in one file, for example to process it further in Excel.

Where to find it

Templates → Form templates → row of the template → More actions (⋮) → Export data (CSV) or Export data (JSON)

1. In the row of the form template, click More actions.
2. Export data (CSV): a table for Excel and similar programs.
3. Export data (JSON): for further processing in other programs.

The file goes to your browser’s download folder.

What the file contains

• One row per request started from this form template.
• First, fixed columns: ID, subject, status, created, started, completed.
• Then one column per field. The column is named after the field’s Data name (see Set up fields).

Good to know

• You only see requests you are allowed to read yourself (as sender or observer).
• At most 5000 requests per export. If there are more, actaSIGN reports “Not every request was exported”.
• In the CSV file, the columns are separated by commas in English (by semicolons in German).
• Give the fields meaningful data names before you use the template. Otherwise the columns are hard to read.
