Exporting Persons and Credentials

The Import/Export Wizard can be used to extract personnel data (i.e., the user-defined fields in a
persons record) and credentials from the System to a CSV file.

Note:

User account information, which allows a person to log into the System, is not exported
by the Import/Export Wizard.

Export Persons and Credentials to a CSV File

a CSV file, which can then be used to edit the records or import the data to other databases such as
personnel records.
