# Data exports
[Coveo Analytics reports](https://docs.coveo.com/en/266/) offer many features allowing you to monitor and measure the usage of your Coveo search solution.
However, when you want to perform [custom data](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1341/) processing, create other reporting formats, or integrate [Coveo Analytics data](https://docs.coveo.com/en/259/) into corporate reporting systems, you first need to perform a [data export](https://docs.coveo.com/en/257/).

As the schema below illustrates, analytics data is gathered from user interfaces such as case creation panels and search pages that log [Coveo Analytics events](https://docs.coveo.com/en/260/).
This data can be reviewed in the [Coveo Administration Console](https://docs.coveo.com/en/183/), either in Coveo Analytics [reports](https://docs.coveo.com/en/266/) or in the [**Visit Browser**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/visit/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/visit/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/visit/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/visit/)) page, in which you can follow the user journey on your web pages (see [Review and manage dashboards](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1542/), [Review and manage explorers](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1899/), and [Review user visits with the Visit Browser](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1964/)).

![Data export schema](coveo-analytics/data-exports-schema.png)

You can export any data found in the reports or from the **Visit Browser**.
On the **Data Exports** tab of the [**Raw Data**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/)) page, you can also export specific data to one or more comma-separated value (CSV) files for a given time interval.
You can then import the data in a spreadsheet or any other data analysis application for more reporting and analysis purposes.

## Export methods

You can export Coveo Analytics data using different methods:

* [Manual export](#manual-export)
* [Automatic scheduled export](#automatic-scheduled-export)
* [Manual visits export](#manual-visits-export)
* [Usage Analytics Read API](#usage-analytics-read-api)

### Manual export

On the **Data Exports** tab of the [**Raw Data**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/)) page, you can create a manual export in the [**Create CSV Export** panel](https://docs.coveo.com/en/l9fb0345#add-or-recreate-an-export).
Once the export is completed, you can [download it in the Action bar](https://docs.coveo.com/en/l9fb0345#download-an-export).

You can also manually export the data of any [UA explorer](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1899#export-the-content-of-an-explorer) or [report card](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2052/) as a CSV file.

### Automatic scheduled export

On the **Data Exports** tab of the [**Raw Data**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/)) page, you can [schedule your exports](https://docs.coveo.com/en/l9fb0345#add-or-edit-an-export-schedule) in your Coveo organization to extract data by day, week, or month.
The export will be separated in many CSV files.

### Manual visits export

On the [**Visit Browser**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/visit/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/visit/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/visit/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/visit/)) page, you can [download all your visit data](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1964#export-visit-data-that-meet-your-criteria) in your Coveo organization, which will then be saved on the **Data Exports** tab of the [**Raw Data**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/usage/raw-data/)) page.
All events are recorded in one CSV file,

**Example**

You export the [click events](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2949#click-documentview) that occurred in the past week on your search hub.
You then open the downloaded file in a spreadsheet application to see the [metadata](https://docs.coveo.com/en/218/) (for example, the exported dimension values) related to each click event (see [What's the Database Schema of the Different Tables That I See When Doing an Export?](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1873#whats-the-database-schema-of-the-different-tables-that-i-see-when-doing-an-export)).

### Usage Analytics Read API

Instead of using the Administration Console, you can create exports using the Usage Analytics Read API as it exposes the [`+/exports+` endpoints](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/docs?urls.primaryName=Usage%20Analytics%20Read#/Exports%20API%20-%20Version%2015/get__v15_exports).
For steps on how to use the Read API for data exports, see [Create and retrieve data exports](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2849/)
