Customer API / Get started

Export approved data to CSV.

Use the Dashboard Data tab when you need a governed export without building an API client.

Export from the Data tab

The CSV workflow follows the same operator-managed data policy as the Customer API. It works identically on Linux and Windows, and the finished file is saved to the download location configured in your browser.

  1. Open Dashboard -> Data -> Counts & Tallies.
  2. Select the site and line in the Dashboard scope selector, then choose the machines to include.
  3. Choose a preset or custom time window and select Load. The selected window cannot be longer than the configured maximum time range.
  4. Use Summary -> Export CSV for one counter-total row per approved Friendly Tag.
  5. Use Data Explorer -> Export Raw CSV when raw data is allowed. When raw data is disabled, the tab and file show aggregates at the minimum permitted interval instead.
  6. Use Downtime Events -> Export CSV for downtime rows when the downtime source is enabled.

Understand the policy

  • Only Friendly Tags marked for export are loaded or written to CSV.
  • The source must be enabled, and the requested window cannot exceed its maximum time range.
  • Raw values are never loaded when raw access is disabled. Aggregate exports use at least the configured minimum interval.
  • The result limit caps the rows returned in one loaded export. Narrow the time window or machine selection when the limit is reached.
  • Customers can view the effective behavior but cannot change these controls; a platform operator manages the policy.

Handle exported files

CSV files can contain production-sensitive information. Store them in an approved location and share them only with people authorized for that customer, site, and line.

If a required tag or downtime record is missing, return to Customer API setup and queries and use discovery to confirm the approved data surface before contacting support.
