Overview
In step 2 of the export wizard, you define the time period for which tracking data is exported.
The selected time frame limits the export to events registered within that period. Each tracked event in Engage is stored with a time stamp.
By default, the maximum export period per file is 31 days. To export data for a longer period, you must create multiple exports.
If you have permission 166: Data Import and Export: Maximum Time Frame, you can extend the export period up to 365 days.
Navigation Path
Go to Data Management > Exports.
Click Create.
Select Simplified Data Export from the Type drop-down.
Proceed to step 2 of the export creation wizard.
