Data in your Lightship site can be exported in a number of ways depending on the data type and formatting, as well as your requirements post-export.

Shapefiles

Site administrators can export geographic datasets (point, line, polygon) as zipped shapefiles.

1. Click on "Resources" > "Data Sources".

2. Search for the data source that you want to export.

3. Click the "Export" button.

File Attachments

Site administrators can export file attachments (eg. photos).

1. Click on "Resources" > "Data Sources".

2. Search for the data source for which you want to download the file(s).

3. Click the "Files" button.

Excel / Tabular Data

Any user can export data to excel files using a feature search, but only site administrators can create feature searches. 

1. If the data you want to export does not have an existing feature search, see our related support article (How To: Create a Feature Search).

2. Once you have your feature search, ensure that it has been added to a workspace (feature searches can only be used within workspaces).

3. Open the feature search within the workspace (if the data is not displayed as you expected, you may need to adjust the workspace data filtering or the feature search export setup).

4. Click the download button.
