      Format Description
      .csv

      A .csv file that contains a list of assets.

      Note:  If your .csv export file includes a cell that begins with any of the following characters (=, +, -, @), Tenable Web App Scanning automatically inputs a single quote (') at the beginning of the cell. For more information, see the related knowledge base article.
      .json

      A .json file that contains a nested list of assets. Tenable Web App Scanning does not include empty fields in the .json file.

    3. (Optional) In the Configurations section, select the checkboxes next to the fields to include. To view only selected fields, click View Selected.

      2. Note: When you schedule an export with filters that do not specify a certain date, those filters update the export as time passes.

    2. In the Time Zone drop-down box, select a time zone.
    3. In the Repeat drop-down box, select how often you want the export to repeat.

    2. In the Password box, type a password for the export file. Share this password with the recipients to allow them to download the file.
