Data Format Type

The Export Type field offers two distinct modes for extracting and formatting data from the database:

• Raw: This mode represents the most direct and performant approach for data export. When this option is selected, the system:
  • Extracts data directly from the database without applying any additional processing
  • Maintains values exactly as they are stored in the system
  • Preserves maximum fidelity of original information
  • Ensures optimal export speed, particularly important for large data volumes
  • Is ideal for technical analysis, data backups, or when absolute information integrity must be preserved
• Pretty (Formatted Data): This mode applies a series of processing operations to make data more readable and user-friendly:
  • Formats values according to CRM display settings
  • Converts internal codes to descriptive labels
  • Applies specific formatting rules for each field type
  • Translates picklist values to their textual equivalents
  • Is optimal for reports intended for human reading or presentations

The choice between these two modes depends on the final use of the CSV file: use "raw" for technical processing and "pretty" for reports and analysis intended for direct consultation.
