What this does
Exports give you the same underlying task data as Reports, as a downloadable file — for sharing outside BriefFlow or working with in a spreadsheet.
Before you begin
Exporting requires the exports.create permission (Administrators by default).
Downloading an export
- Open Exports in the sidebar.
- Choose a preset — Completed This Week, Completed This Month, Completed By User, Completed By Project, Release Tasks, All Completed Tasks, Current Blocked Tasks, QA Changes Requested — or leave it on Custom.
- Adjust the filters below the preset if needed (date range, assignee, owner, project, release, status, priority, type).
- Check the matching row count shown on the page.
- Select Download CSV or Download XLSX.
Formats
CSV and XLSX are both supported. Every column is human-readable — task status, priority, and type are written out as their labels, not raw internal codes, and a task's assignees are listed by name in one cell (semicolon-separated), not split across duplicate rows.
Row limits
Note
A single export is capped at a fixed number of rows to keep generation fast and reliable. If your filters match more than that, you'll be asked to narrow them rather than receiving a silently truncated file.
What you can export
Exports respect your own permissions — you see the same task data through an export that you'd see anywhere else in BriefFlow, nothing more.
Common issues
The download says I need to narrow my filters. Your current filters match more rows than the export limit — add a project, date range, or status filter to bring the count down.
