# Set up CSV export

Use the CSV Export Setup dialog box to set up CSV export.

## To set up CSV export

1. From the Explore tree, double-click CSV Export Setup to open the CSV Export Setup editor.
2. Select the Enable CSV Export check box.
3. Select the types of information to be exported.
4. Enter either or both of the paths to save the CSV files to.

   Tip: | For example, enter: \My documents or \Storage card2 in PanelView Plus 6 or PanelView Plus 7 path. It is recommended to save CSV files to an external storage on a PanelView Plus 7 or PanelView Plus 6 terminal due to the limited space on the internal storage. Plug in the external storage to the terminal before running the application. If the external storage does not exist, the Storage Card 2 or USB Storage folder will be created during CSV export on the internal storage. C:\Users\Public\Documents in Windows PC or MobileView path.

5. Specify a tag or an expression for the Export Trigger connection.
6. (Optional) Specify a tag or an expression for the File Label connection.
7. (Optional) On the History tabs, specify tags for Status Code and Status Message.
8. Click OK.

   Tip: | Use the Startup editor to turn on the CSV export function: Select the Audit trail check box to export audit information. Select the Alarms check box to export alarm information.
