Export Templates

Export templates can contain any variables required to be output for a particular audience list. For example, for an external mailing house you would need to include name and address information whilst, for your internal testing, you might just include first name and email address.

File format options for export include:

• CSV - Comma-separated values
• SDF - Fixed format Standard Data File
• XLSX - Microsoft Excel Open XML Format
• MDB - Microsoft Access database
• DBF - dBase database file
• URN - Export as a list of URNs
