Export a Snapshot from the Budget Tool (Beta)

Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- To export any project status snapshot created from the Project Status Snapshots tab, 'Read-Only' level permissions or higher on the project's Budget tool.
- Additional Information:
- Ad Hoc and Project Status Snapshots are available for the Budget tab.
- Only Ad Hoc Snapshots are available for the Forecasting tab.
Prerequisites
Steps
- Navigate to the Budget tool.
- Click Budget or Forecasting tab.
- Create or view a snapshot.
Note
Ad Hoc and Project Status Snapshots are available for the Budget tab. Only Ad Hoc Snapshots are available for the Forecasting tab. - (Optional) Choose the budget view and apply any filtering or grouping options to the snapshot.
- Click Export.
Note
Because CSV is a flat file format, any applied grouping options are not included in exports to CSV. - Choose one of these options from the menu:
- CSV. This downloads a CSV file to the location configured in your web browser.
- PDF. This opens a PDF version of the file in a new browser window. To download it, use the options available in your web browser's PDF viewer.
