Quick Exports from AG Grid
Data ExportsWhat Quick Export Is
Quick Export creates a full server-side export from a data
table. Unlike a client-side CSV dump, Quick Export runs the
same background processing pipeline as a standard export,
inheriting the grid's current filters, sort order, and
visible columns.
How It Works
When the user clicks the export action on a data table:
- The system creates an export with:
- Name: "Quick {data type} Export By {user name}"
- Notification email: the current user's email
- Columns: the currently visible (non-hidden) columns from the grid tab.
- Filters and sort order inherited from the grid tab's current state.
- The export processes in the background like any other export.
- The user is redirected back to the originating page with a flash message. Superusers see a link to view/edit the export.
Permissions
Quick Export is exempt from the standard data exports
permission check. It checks whether the current
user has the export permission enabled for the specific
record type being exported.
