Overview

Whether you need to analyze survey trends, share results with stakeholders, or create custom reports, Starred's export functionality gives you complete access to your data. You can download information from every part of your dashboard, including overview metrics, question drill-downs, individual responses, and comment analysis.

Starred allows you to export data from multiple locations throughout your dashboard:

Throughout Starred, look for the three vertical dots (⋮) menu to access download options. This universal indicator appears wherever data export is available.

Exporting Complete Dashboards

Accessing Dashboard Exports

1. Navigate to any dashboard containing your survey results
2. Locate the three vertical dots (⋮) in the upper-right area above your data
3. Click the dots to reveal the dropdown menu

You'll see two primary options:

• Download - Immediate export to your computer
• Schedule delivery - Set up recurring reports (learn more about scheduled reports)

4. Choose your export format
5. Select Download for immediate access. You can export your data in two formats:

PDF Export

Best for: Presentations, executive summaries, visual reports

When selecting PDF, customize these settings:

• Page layout - Portrait or landscape orientation
• Content options - Include/exclude specific sections

CSV Export

Best for working with data, copying information, or viewing all comments. This provides the most flexibility for analysis and manipulation.

Handling Large Tables in PDF

PDF exports can sometimes cut off large tables. To prevent this:

1. In the PDF export dialog, check "Expand tables to show all rows"
2. This ensures complete table data in your export

⚠️

Important Note

Even with table expansion enabled, very large datasets may still face formatting issues in PDF. For extensive data analysis, CSV format provides better reliability.

Exporting Individual Charts and Questions

Sometimes you need specific question results rather than entire dashboard data. This approach helps you:

• `Focus on particular metrics
• Share specific findings with team members
• Analyze individual question performance

How to Export Chart Data

1. Hover over any chart until the three dots (⋮) appear in the top-right corner
2. Click the three dots to open the menu
3. Select "Download data"
