Export field data from an agreement or template from the Manage page

How to download the field-level data entered by the recipients of agreements from the Manage page

Overview

Agreements that collect field data from recipients can export that data in a .csv file format using an action on the Manage page.

Library Templates and Web Forms (collectively referred to as templates) are (parent) templates that generate individual (child) agreements. As such, they collect the field-level data for every agreement that is spawned from the template.

Access to the field-level data is limited to the owner of the agreement and the owner of the template (regardless as to if they are the same user).

Note:

Downloading field-level data in this manner is a tactical solution.

Agreement data export

All agreements that have collected data field content display the option to download the field data.

Some rules around that:

  • The agreement must have some data field content added by a recipient. Signature and Signer Info fields do not count
    • If there are no data fields, or none have been filled in yet, the download option is not visible
  • All agreement statuses have the potential to expose the download option
  • Shared agreements to the group or account-level admin (either individually or by user/group share) permit access to the download option
    • Sharing access to a non-admin, or an admin that does not have authority over the agreement owner, will not display the download option
