Handling Large Exports

For studies with large amounts of data:
  • Export generation may take longer
  • Consider filtering to reduce size
  • Split into multiple exports if needed
If you consistently need large exports, consider scheduling them during off-peak hours.

Export Audit Trail

All exports are logged:
  • Who requested
  • When requested
  • What type and filters
  • When downloaded
This provides accountability for data access.

Troubleshooting

Export Stuck in Pending

If an export remains pending:
  1. Wait additional time for large studies
  2. Check for system notifications
  3. Contact support if it persists

Export Shows Error

If an export fails:
  1. Retry the export
  2. Check if filters are too restrictive
  3. Contact support with error details

Download Issues

If download fails:
  1. Check your network connection
  2. Try a different browser
  3. Request a new export if file is corrupted

Best Practices

Know what data you need before creating exports.
Filter to get just the data you need.
Store downloaded files securely and delete when no longer needed.
Keep records of why exports were created for audit purposes.
