Export Findings or Assets

You can export data from the Findings and Assets tables to CSV or JSON. While these tables contain different data, the basic export process is the same.

To export findings or assets:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • In the left navigation, click Explore > Findings.

      The Findings page appears.

    • In the left navigation, click Explore > Assets.

      The Assets page appears.

  2. Refine the displayed data, as described in Use Filters.

    Note: On the Findings table, when using the Group By filter, you can only export five findings at a time. See Saved Views

    Note: On the Assets table, the Asset ID, Last Authenticated Scan, Last Licensed Scan, and Source fields are required.

  3. Select the check boxes next to the findings or assets to export.

    Note: You can manually select up to 200 findings or assets. Otherwise, you must select them all.

    Formats

    Select an export format:

    • CSV – A CSV file that you can open in a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel.

      Note: For findings exports, the system automatically trims cells longer than 32,000 characters so they appear correctly in Microsoft Excel. Select Untruncated Data to disable this.

      Note: If your export file contains a cell starting with any of the following characters (=, +, -, @), the system adds a single quote (') at the beginning of the cell. For more information, see the Knowledge Base.

    • JSON – A JSON file containing a nested list of findings, with no empty fields.

    Select the fields to include:

    • Under Select Field Set, search for or select the fields to add to your export.

    • To view only selected fields, click View Selected.

    • In the Expiration box, type the number of days before the export file ages out.

    2. In the Time Zone drop-down, choose a time zone.
    3. In the Repeat drop-down, choose the cadence on which you want the export to repeat (for example, daily).
    4. In the Repeat Ends drop-down, choose the date when exports end. If you select Never, the export repeats until you modify or delete it.
