A standard browser file download dialog will be displayed that allows saving the text file to the computer. See the section on importing distribution lists for details on the file format.

The system administrator can configure whether the exported file is TSV (tab separated) or CSV (comma separated).

The file is always exported in the UTF-16LE (little-endian) format with BOM.

The system administrator can configure which addresses from each recipient entry will be exported. Typically, only the first active address of a recipient will be exported.

The system administrator can also configure which fields from each recipient will be exported:

• The standard fields: Attention, Service, Number, RecipientID

• Extended fields: All of the fields listed above.

  If a user exports a list that contains other lists, the recipients from all of the included lists will be exported to the file; however, the names of the included lists will not be exported.

If a user selects multiple distribution lists and then clicks the Export List button, the lists will be delivered to the browser in a single .ZIP file. However, the exporting of multiple lists only supports lists where the name contains letters without umlauts or accents.
