Exporting your features to a CSV is useful for migrating your data from one workspace to another or for reporting on it outside Productboard. There are two methods for exporting your features.
Note: You must be a maker or admin to run a CSV export.
In this article:
- Exporting all components, features, subfeatures, and data fields
- Exporting a filtered list of features and data columns
Exporting all components, features, subfeatures, and data fields
Use this method if you want a more comprehensive export that includes all data fields for every component, feature, and subfeature that you have access to in your workspace, This method makes use of Productboard's APIs but requires no knowledge of how they work.
- Make sure you're signed in to your Productboard workspace.
-
Paste this URL into your browser:
https://[your_workspace].productboard.com/api/features/export - In the pasted URL, replace "[your_workspace]" with the name of your workspace, which you can find by looking at the dropdown in the top left corner of Productboard. (In the below example, it's "excellence-ced".)
- Press enter.
Within a few minutes, you'll receive an email from feedback@productboard.com with a link. Follow the link and the instructions within to download your CSV.
Note: Data or entities which you are restricted from accessing for any reason will not be included in the export.
Exporting a filtered list of features and data columns
This method exports the features and data columns visible on the grid of your choice. Do this when you only need to export a subset of your data, or when you don't want to include components and subfeatures in the export.
To export filtered data from a grid to a CSV:
- Create or open a Grid board.
- (Optional) Adjust the board's filters to limit which items are visible. Only items that agree with the filters will be exported.
- (Optional) Adjust the board's sorting to order the items. The export will preserve the board sorting.
- (Optional) Use the Add columns button to add more information to your exported data.
- Click ••• More actions in the top right corner of the board and select Export as CSV.
- The Export board data as CSV window will appear.
- (Optional) You can select the Include item description checkbox to add the items description in plain text to the exported CSV file.
- Click on the Export CSV button.
- Within a few minutes, you will receive an email from feedback@productboard.com with a link. Follow the link and the instructions in the email to download your CSV.
- Once downloaded, open your CSV to make sure you captured the desired data.
Keep the following in mind when using this method:
- You do not have to save the board before exporting. This means you can make adjustments, export the board, and then discard your changes from Save > Discard changes. Your exported CSV will show the adjusted board's data, not the original's.
- It doesn't matter if your items are collapsed or expanded. All items which agree with the board's filter will be exported regardless of visibility.
Troubleshooting
If you've followed the steps above but haven't received the email containing the CSV download link, try the following:
- Search your inbox for emails from feedback@productboard.com.
- Check your email's spam or junk folder.
- Check to make sure you don't have any filters running in your inbox that would block or reroute the delivery email.
- Check with IT or your email admin to make sure email from feedback@productboard.com isn't being blocked.
