Readings export as CSV with their timestamps, measured values, computed level and the unit and store they came from — everything needed to reproduce what the dashboard showed.
- Useful for your own analysis, for an archive, or for loading into a records system you already run.
- Timestamps are in the timezone set on your account, so a spreadsheet doesn't need translating.
- Export is included on paid plans. On a plan without it the download is declined rather than returning a partial file.
A requested date range is narrowed to what your plan retains. Asking a 30-day-retention account for three years returns 30 days, because the alternative — a file that looks like three years and isn't — is the version that gets attached to a compliance position by mistake.
The whole-account export is additionally capped at 12 months in one download, regardless of plan, so a request across hundreds of stores doesn't time out halfway through. Longer archives are best taken a year at a time.
Your data is yours. Export is not a retention plan by itself — a CSV on a laptop is not a compliance record — but it does mean you're never locked in.
