Overview

Export your records lets the business Owner download ProBase data as a CSV spreadsheet file. There are two files to choose from:
  • Accounting — Every charge, credit, tip and payment, in the order it happened. What an accountant reconciles from.
  • Customers — Your book: every customer, their contact details, their properties and their services.
A CSV opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any accounting tool that imports spreadsheets.
Only the business Owner can export records. Everyone else — Admins included — doesn’t see the card at all. See Roles & permissions.
