In this guide, we showcase how you can export a CSV list of your workflow instances from Revver, and also what to expect from the data you receive.


Access & Feature Requirement

In order to access the Workflow Instance CSV Export tool, your user will require the following features to be enabled:

Note: The workflow approval is enabled by default when giving a user the base Workflow feature.


Exporting a CSV List of Workflow Instances

This portion of the guide showcases the necessary steps to export a CSV list of workflow instances.

Step 1 - Navigate to the Workflows Page

From the Revver home page, start by clicking on the 'Workflows' option on the left hand side of the Revver page.

Alternatively, it can be found by clicking on 'All Features' and then selecting 'Workflows' under the 'Work' column.

Step 2 - Locate and Click on the CSV Export Option

On the workflows page, make sure you are on the 'Instances' tab. If you are not, the 'Instances' tab can be found at the top of the page.

On that page, click on the three-dot icon to the right of the filtering options and select 'Export Data'.

Step 3 - Choose a Date Range

Upon clicking 'Export Data', a small window will appear that allows you to select a date range for your CSV data export.

Any data that occurred outside of the selected range will be excluded from your exported CSV.

Step 4 - Save to your Computer

Once satisfied with the date range selected, click on the 'Export' button. You will be prompted with a file explorer window asking you where you would like the resulting CSV to be saved.

Choose a location, and optionally name the CSV file, then click on 'Save' to download it to your computer.

Additional Info

If upon selecting a date range and clicking 'Export', you receive a message stating 'No Instances Found', please verify that the date range selected has instances to begin with.

For this we recommend using the base Instances page of the Workflows section of Revver. Under workflow filtering options, check the box for 'Show all instances', that will make all workflow instances visible, regardless of their status, date, or completion status.
