Create an export type

As part of your user data management approach you can create an export type with a customised list of data items to be exported (either by the user themselves or by a Site Administrator). 

To create a new export type, follow these steps:

1. Go to Quick-access menu > Users > User data management > Export type.
2. Click Create export type in the top-right corner of the screen. 
3. Configure the settings. 
4. Click Add to complete the process.

Occasionally new components may be added to the system (e.g. a new plugin is installed), which means there are potentially more items containing user data. These items will be ignored by existing export types until a Site Administrator has edited the types affected (by choosing whether to select them or not for export). Administrators will receive a notification that new items have been added. When editing an affected export type, the individual items will be highlighted with a New label. Once the export type is saved, the labels and warning will be removed.
