Exports↑

AQtive Guard Exports enables you to save and export custom Inventory or IT Asset views, allowing you to analyze and report on specific data sets.

Exports allow you to:

  • Save custom data views: Preserve the exact configuration of your data view, including applied filters and sorting.
  • Export data in standard formats: Export the displayed data as a CSV for further analysis and reporting.
  • Re-run past queries: Quickly refresh a previously saved data view with up-to-date results.

Use↑

The following sections explain how to use exports.

Create an export↑

To create an export:

  1. Select Inventory or IT Assets from the main menu, then select the appropriate tab for the data type you’d like to create an export of.
  2. Apply local or global filters until you’ve narrowed down to the specific information you want to export.
  3. Select Export and enter:
    • A name for the export.
    • An optional description.
  4. Select Create.

You’ll be taken to the Exports page in a new tab where you can view the details.

Use the export details view to manage and re-run previous exports.

The Exports screen shows the following information about a previously created export:

  • Description - The description you entered when you created the export.

  • Global filters - Any global filters that were applied during creation of the export.
  • Local filters - Any local filters that were applied during creation of the export.

You can also re-open an export to review and modify its saved filters by selecting Restore filters and open.

This screen also contains the Export history table, which shows:

  • Created at - the date and time the export was created (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM), based on the time zone set in your browser, with system time in UTC.

You can also download or delete an export on the Exports screen.
