    Select an export format:

      Note: For findings exports, Tenable Vulnerability Management 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 that starts with any of the following characters (=, +, -, @), Tenable Vulnerability Management adds a single quote (') at the beginning of the cell. For more information, see the Knowledge Base.

    3. In the Repeat drop-down, choose the cadence on which you want the export to repeat (for example, daily).
