# Exporting widget data

> Export a single widget's data to PDF, CSV, XLSX, Google Sheets, or email — directly from the widget.

When the goal is the underlying data rather than the full dashboard report, every widget exposes its own export menu. Open it from the **3 vertical dots** menu in the widget header.

## What's in the menu depends on the widget type

| Widget type                                                                            | Menu options                                                                                                    |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Most widgets (charts, single metric, goal, creative, funnel, scatter, filter, notepad) | **Export to PDF** only                                                                                          |
| **Ad table** and **Generic table**                                                     | **Export to PDF**, **Export to CSV**, **Export to XLSX**, **Export to GSS**, **Email CSV**, **Schedule export** |

Tables get the full menu because they're the natural format for row-by-row data. Other widget types stay PDF-only.

## Breakdown depth limits at a glance

The export method changes how many levels of breakdowns can be included in the output.

| Export option                                                                                     | Max breakdowns included                                         |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Export to PDF**, **Export to CSV**, **Export to XLSX**, **Export to GSS** (immediate downloads) | Up to **2 breakdowns**, even if the widget on-screen shows more |
| **Email CSV**, **Schedule export**                                                                | Up to **4 breakdowns**, chosen when configuring the export      |

For richer nested breakdowns, use Email CSV or Schedule export.

## Export to PDF, CSV, or XLSX (immediate download)

Click **Export to PDF**, **Export to CSV**, or **Export to XLSX** and the file downloads immediately, containing the data the widget is currently showing.

<Note>
  **Immediate downloads are capped at 2 breakdowns.** Even if the widget on-screen displays more, the immediate download includes at most 2 breakdown levels. For deeper output, use **Email CSV** (up to 4 breakdowns).
</Note>

<Note>
  **Multi-page data is not included.** If the table is paginated, only the rows visible on the current page are exported. To include all rows, expand or filter the table so the rows are in view before exporting, or use Email CSV.
</Note>

## Export to GSS (Google Sheets)

**Export to GSS** opens a modal with two link options:

| Option                 | Behavior                                                                                                                                                      |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Static table link**  | A one-time URL that contains the data as it was at export time. Use this when a frozen snapshot is what's wanted.                                             |
| **Dynamic table link** | An auto-updating URL that always returns the latest data when opened. Paste into Google Sheets via `=IMPORTDATA("URL")` and the sheet refreshes on each open. |

Pick the static table for a fixed historical record; pick the dynamic table when the Google Sheet should keep updating.

The same **2-breakdown cap** applies to both GSS link options.

## Email CSV (one-time, with breakdowns)

**Email CSV** opens a panel to send the table data to the requester's email as a CSV.

Pick the breakdown depth — **1 to 4** — which controls how many levels of grouped data are included in the CSV. For example, depth 2 might include channel-level and campaign-level rows; depth 4 nests two additional grouping levels.

The CSV is generated and emailed once. Status is tracked, and the email arrives once the job completes.

## Schedule export (recurring)

**Schedule export** opens a panel to set up a recurring delivery to one or more recipients.

Configure:

* **Frequency** — Daily, Weekly (pick a day of the week), or Monthly (pick a day of the month).
* **Recipients** — Adriel users, teams, or specific email addresses.
* **Date format** — used in the file name.
* **Breakdown depth** — **1 to 4**, same range as Email CSV.
* **Aggregated rows** — toggle to include or exclude per-group totals.

For managing all scheduled exports across the workspace, see [Scheduled exports](/automate-and-ai/scheduled-exports).

## Permissions

Exporting requires the **Export data** permission on the dashboard's teamspace. **View only** members do not see the export menu options unless granted explicitly.
