Getting your data out is a feature, not a favour

Export covers 51 kinds of record. Import maps your column names and your spellings onto ours before anything is written. And the page never promises a round trip it cannot complete.

Included on every plan, free included

Why this exists

  • The tool you are leaving makes the exit as slow as it can.
  • A CSV import that guesses your column names quietly writes the wrong thing.
  • Nobody can tell you who exported the customer list, or when.

What it does

Export 51 kinds of record

Projects, tasks, portfolios, ideas, risks, timesheets, clients, deals, contacts, leads, the customer and supplier master, proposals, contracts, forms and their submissions, invoices and more. Up from twelve, and deliberately including the ones somebody needs on the way out.

See the mapping before anything is written

Import maps your column names onto ours, and your spellings of a status or a stage onto ours, and shows you the result first. You answer the values it does not recognise rather than discovering them afterwards.

Know who moved what

A History tab records every move in both directions with who did it and when, so "who took the customer list" has an answer.

Export the whole table, not the first thousand rows

Exports page through the data and stop when the server runs out of rows, and an export that is capped says so on the card and in the file name.

Open the file safely

A spreadsheet treats a cell starting with = + - or @ as a formula, so a value typed into one of your public forms could otherwise run as code the moment you opened the export. Those values carry a leading apostrophe, which spreadsheets hide and strip. The data underneath is unchanged.

What it does not do

The part you would otherwise find out in week three. If one of these is central to how you work, raise it before you buy rather than after.

  • Import covers twelve kinds of record today: projects, tasks, clients, deals, contacts, companies, leads, products, vendors, the chart of accounts, ideas and teams. Everything else exports but does not yet import, and the cards say which is which.
  • Both directions are owner and admin only, because each moves every record at once.
  • There is no live two-way sync with another system. This is import and export, not replication.

Questions, answered

Can I get all my data out?+

Export covers 51 kinds of record, including the ones people actually need when they leave: the customer and supplier master, invoices, contracts, timesheets, form submissions. Import covers twelve, and the page says which is which rather than implying a round trip.

What happens to a column you do not recognise?+

You are asked. Import shows the mapping from your column names to ours, and from your spellings of a status or stage to ours, before anything is written.

Is exporting audited?+

Yes. Every move in either direction is recorded on the History tab with who did it and when.

Who can import and export?+

Owners and admins only. Both directions move every record at once, which is not a permission to hand out broadly.
